Diamondbacks' Goldschmidt not concerned about hand this year
Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is not concerned about his hand this year, according to MLB.com.
Goldschmidt saw his first game action since last season on Tuesday, singling in his first at-bat since August 1. Goldschmidt missed the final two months of 2014 due to a broken hand, but said the injury has not been an issue during camp.
"It was the last thing on my mind," Goldschmidt said. "It's not the first time I've gotten hit. It's not the first time I've gotten injured. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but chances are something is going to happen in the future."
Goldschmidt has been wearing a small pad in his batting glove in order to prevent the injury should he get hit in the same spot. He's used the pad during batting practices, and said he doesn't even feel it.
The 27-year-old hit .300/.396/.542 over 406 at-bats last season.
