Pollock, Peralta forced from game with worrisome injuries

Published May. 14, 2017 10:25 p.m. ET

Diamondbacks center fielder A.J. Pollock injured his right groin running up the baseline in the 10th inning Sunday and had to come out of the game.

Pollock, who battled a groin injury at the end of last season and during spring training, could miss some time with his injury.

"I hit the ball, ran, felt a little grab," Pollock said. "It wasn't good, but we will see."

Fellow outfielder David Peralta left the game after striking out in the seventh with tightness in his right glute, but said he might be able to play as soon as Monday, when the Diamondbacks open a three-game series against the Mets at Chase Field.

After a workout and further evaluation before Sunday's game, catcher Chris Iannetta was placed on the 7-day concussion disabled list, retroactive to May 13. He was hit in the face with a pitch from the Pirates' Johnny Barbato on Friday night. Iannetta suffered a split lip, cracked teeth and broken nose.

The Diamondbacks recalled right-hander Silvino Bracho from Triple-A Reno to fill the open roster spot.
