KC’s Rios Out Indefinitely
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kansas City right fielder Alex Rios is out indefinitely after suffering a broken bone in his left hand when he was hit by a pitch in Minnesota Monday.
The team said Tuesday that Rios has a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his left hand. He was hit by J.R. Graham's first pitch in the eighth. He eventually scored but was removed as a precaution in the bottom of the inning and sent for X-rays.
The team said no timetable has been set in terms of his return.
Rios was batting .321 with eight RBIs and a home run through Kansas City's 7-0 start to the season.
