Giancarlo Stanton’s 119.5-mph line drive in the first inning ended Tigers starter Matt Manning’s night — and season.
Stanton’s hardest-hit ball this season rebounded off Manning’s foot, struck the pitcher on the backside and was gloved by Manning, who threw to first for the final out of the first inning.
Manning immediately was attended to by an athletic trainer and manager A.J. Hinch, who said it was a different spot. Manning was struck by Kirk’s 97.3-mph comebacker April 11 and didn’t return to the Tigers until June 27.Matt Manning exits the game after getting hit by a Giancarlo Stanton liner on Sept. 6, 2023.Getty Images
“You can count probably on one hand how many pitchers have gotten hit in the foot with line drives this season,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “He’s had it twice. That’s incredibly unlucky and 119 off any part of the body is probably going to put you on the injured list. “I feel for him. He’s worked back from a couple of different things, some of it not arm related, which gives us tons of confidence that he’s going to bounce back out of this, but there’s not much you can do once you go through your delivery and the dude smokes the ball off you. All you can do is hope that the X-ray is going to come back negative. This one didn’t.”
