Rays C Curt Casali suffers strained hamstring during HR trot
Rays catcher Curt Casali went 1 for 3 with his 10th home run in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Twins. And as if the loss wasn't bad enough, Casali was injured during his trot around the bases following his fifth-inning solo blast.
"Curt, strained [left] hamstring," Rays manager Kevin Cash said, per MLB.com. "He'll be looked at by doctors tomorrow. We won't have any real information until tomorrow morning."
As Casali rounded the bases, he was seen favoring his left leg.
"It was weird, it was really weird," Casali said. "...I felt fine going to first base. I was going pretty fast and it just started getting tight on me as soon as I hit the bag it didn't go very good going around the bases.
"I didn't want to injure it worse than it already was," Casali said. "I tried to take it as slow as I could. I knew I had to get around the bases somehow. Just unfortunate timing."
