MIAMI -- Baltimore Orioles pitcher Albert Suarez and second baseman Jorge Mateo got hurt in the third inning of Tuesday night's 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins.
Mateo collided with shortstop Gunnar Henderson as they dove to catch a grounder behind the second base bag from Jesus Sanchez, who reached on a single. Mateo initially stood up but then fell to the ground and grimaced, favoring his left arm. He was tended to by an Orioles athletic trainer, and the team said he had left elbow pain.
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said X-ray results on Mateo's injury were negative, but he will undergo an MRI.
"Jorge brings a lot to the table for us, so we're hoping for the best," Hyde said.
Otto Lopez, the next batter, hit a hard comebacker that deflected off Suarez's right foot and rolled near the Marlins dugout on the third-base side for a single that loaded the bases. Hyde and an athletic trainer came out to Suarez, who sustained a left shin contusion.
Suarez allowed six runs and eight hits in two-plus innings.
"It hurts more now than when I got hit. The adrenaline is down now," Suarez said. "The X-rays came out negative, thankfully. Just swollen. Nothing else."
