Aaron Hill Suffers Injury In Game Against Minnesota Twins

Yet another injury has struck the Arizona Diamondbacks. Aaron Hill dislocated the top of his right pinkie after sliding head-first into home plate during the D’backs’ 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Immediately after the play, Hill immediately made a beeline for the clubhouse.

"“His eighth inning began with a leadoff double before stealing third base. On Chris Owings‘ high chopper behind the mound toward shortstop, Hill sprinted toward home and anticipated a play at the plate. Instead, the Twins’ Danny Santana threw to first to get Owings out. Replays showed an awkward landing for Hill and with the way he looked, I thought the injury made have been worse. It appeared as though he landed hard on his shoulder and with the way he was walking, I and probably many others thought it could have been separated. Thankfully, it was “only” a finger.”"

As of right now, Aaron Hill is listed as day-to-day.

The Arizona Diamondbacks continue their series against the Minnesota Twins tonight, in Minnesota, at 7:10 p.m.
