Carlos Ruiz exits game after HBP on hand
Carlos Ruiz - C - Philadelphia Phillies
March 21, 2013 - 9:55 PM ET

Carlos Ruiz left Thursday's game after being hit on his left hand by a pitch.

It's always scary when someone gets hit on the hand, as it's so easy to break some bones. The Phillies should provide an update on Ruiz's status soon. The catcher is slated to serve a 25-game amphetamine suspension at the beginning of the regular season.
