Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jered Weaver left Sunday's start against the Texas Rangers with a strained left elbow.
The team was happy to see that X-rays turned up negative. Weaver was hit by a line drive off the bat of Mitch Moreland.
"I slipped on the mound and was trying to catch myself from falling down," Weaver said, "and next thing you know there's a bullet coming at you. If it hit somewhere on my body, there would have been more pain issues involved. The left elbow is better than the right arm, that's for sure. I've never really experienced anything like this before.
"I didn't feel anything pop or crack. We'll give it a few days and see where it goes from there. It's pretty painful now. It feels like a when you jam a thumb, but it's in the elbow."
