Line Drive Breaks Embree's Leg
Jun 11, 2014 10:29 PM
Rockies reliever Alan Embree will miss the remainder of the season after his right leg was fractured by a line drive on Friday night.
"There will be some type of compression screw put in there," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said of surgery that was expected to take place on Saturday.
Atlanta's Martin Prado hit a fastball back up the middle in the seventh inning.
"It sounded awful," Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta said. "I couldn't even track the ball it was hit so hard. It sounded really bad."
