Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Scott Hairston was drilled in the right arm by a line drive during batting practice on Saturday, while leading off at second. With the ball just missing his elbow, he was treated by trainers and left the field, but said later that the blow was nothing serious.
Hairston may not be able to throw for a couple of days, but since he was hit above the elbow, perhaps the damage will be minor. He has a history of injury problems, but is definitely in the mix for the final available roster spot with the D'backs.
In 15 at-bats with Arizona last season, the righty hit .400 with 6 hits - 2 of them doubles - 2 runs scored, a walk and five strikeouts.
