Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Chase De Jong was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday one day after being struck by a liner on his left knee.
De Jong was dealing with inflammation after taking the blow.
David Peralta of the Arizona Diamondbacks hit a scorching liner off the inside of De Jong s left knee during the third inning of Monday s contest, won 4-2 by the Diamondbacks.
De Jong somehow bolted toward the first-base line to field the ball and toss it from the ground to first to retire Peralta. He was attended to by team trainers and threw some warm-up pitches before being cleared to continue.

The PONY World Series will return to Washington this summer after being canceled by the pandemic last year.
In another indication that pre-pandemic normalcy is making its return, directors of PONY League baseball unveiled plans Tuesday for the organization’s 69th World Series.
The eight-team double-elimination tournament is set for Aug. 13-18 at Lew Hays PONY Field in Washington, Pa., next door to Washington Wild Things Park. The series was canceled last year due to the covid-19 pandemic. A 10-team tournament was hoped for, but travel restrictions involving teams representing Europe, Mexico and Asia reduced the 2021 tournament field.
