HOUSTON (AP) — Colorado’s Troy Johnston and Willi Castro both left Wednesday night’s game against Houston after being hit by pitches from the Astros' Spencer Arrighetti.
Johnston was hit in the thigh by a pitch in the first inning. He stayed in the game and walked in the third but was replaced at first base in the bottom half.
The Rockies said Johnston had a bruised right quadriceps.
There was one out in the fourth inning when Arrighetti plunked Castro on the right hand. He trotted to first base, where a trainer joined him and looked at his hand for a couple of minutes before he was removed from the game.
The team didn’t immediately provide an update on Castro.
