Francisco Alvarez Injury: Exits after HBP

Alvarez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres after getting hit on the elbow by a pitch, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Alvarez was in a considerable amount of pain after taking a 100-mph sinker from Bradgley Rodriguez off his elbow in the eighth inning and was immediately replaced by a pinch runner. If Alvarez needs to miss any time, Hayden Senger would be forcing to take on starting duties with Luis Torrens (forearm) already on the shelf.
