New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes sustained a broken right leg after being struck by an 111 mph line drive during a game against the Yankees at Citi Field. The incident occurred in the fourth inning when Yankees batter Spencer Jones hit the ball directly back at Holmes.
The injury led to Holmes being removed from the game, which the Mets went on to lose 5-2. The severity of the injury was immediately apparent, with teammates and medical staff rushing to his aid on the mound.
Holmes' injury has been described as a significant setback for the Mets' pitching rotation. The team has not yet released a timeline for his return.
