Leone walked off the field with trainers in the seventh inning of Wednesday’s game.
Chicago White Sox pitcher Dominic Leone departed early from Wednesday’s game against the New York Yankees due to an apparent lower-body injury.
The right-hander entered the game in relief of Justin Anderson with one out in the top of the seventh inning. Leone recorded one out on an unconventional sacrifice fly before allowing a walk and two hits.
He was in apparent discomfort after Austin Wells’ two-RBI single that put the Yankees ahead 4-2. After being attended to on the mound, Leone walked off the field with trainers as Chad Kuhl came in to pitch for the White Sox.
It’s been a tough season for Leone, who owns a 6.63 ERA and has spent significant time on the injured list with right elbow inflammation.
The White Sox haven’t provided an update on Leone as of this writing. Check back for updates as they become available.
