The radiographs of the right hand of Samuel Basallo, Dominican receptor of the Tigers of the Licey and prospect of the Baltimore Orioles, gave negative on Saturday, carrying relief both to the player and the organization.

The news was confirmed by Danielle Allentuck of The Baltimore Bannerafter the young player turned on the alarms after being beaten by a Foul Tip during the meeting.

The incident occurred in the fifth entry of the Saturday victory against the Dodgers, when Basallo could not continue after receiving the impact in his hand to catch.

The team decided to withdraw it immediately by caution, given the possibility that it was a bone lesion that could compromise its participation in the next commitments.

In an official report, it was announced that the rookie was removed due to discomfort in the right hand, which generated uncertainty about the seriousness of the blow.

However, the initial medical tests ruled out fractures or other complications, giving a respite to fans and the technical body of the Orioles.

Despite the favorable diagnosis, the player will remain under observation day by day until he determines with certainty when he can return to action.

The cautious management responds to the value that Basallo represents as one of Baltimore’s main promises and an important piece in Dominican winter baseball.

The news represents a relief in the short term, but also a reminder of the fragility of young prospects in the field of fortuite situations in the field.

At the moment, everything indicates that Samuel Basallo avoided a serious injury, and both his team in the winter league and the Orioles will be attentive to their evolution before allowing him to return to the receiver.
