Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Pedro Alvarez pulled!


I don't know if this is news worthy or not yet but Pedro Alvarez was pulled from today's game in the 5th inning after a walk and a strike out.  I can't find any information as to the reason he was pulled but all indications at this point seem to be an injury.  I can think of no other explanation as to why a #1 draft pick would be yanked in the middle of a game.  Let's all hope this isn't anything too serious!

I searched Twitter for “Pedro Alvarez” and came up with this post. The user is a writer for Altoonamirror.com:

Pedro Alvarez out of game in 4th inning after tweaking right knee on foul pop. Didn’t look too serious, but he was limping a bit.

Saw a note...

on Onlybucs.net from a guy at the game…evidently he collided with Lerud. Guy said he was in the dugout after he got pulled…joking with teammates. So…hopefully…it’s rather minor.

That's a relief!

Thanks for the update. I was worried this may have been related to his tendinittis problem before spring training. Hopefully this is nothing too serious. How are you feeling btw?
