Mets third baseman J.D. Davis was forced to leave Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit by a pitch in his left hand.
In the top of the second inning, Chase Anderson ran a fastball high and inside to Davis, which hit him squarely in the left hand.
After being looked at by the Mets medical staff and with Luis Rojas looking on, the Mets pulled Davis from the game, as he replaced in the lineup at third base by Luis Guillorme.
The team later announced that X-rays on Davis’ hand were negative. Davis was diagnosed with a left hand contusion and is considered day-to-day.
