Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer was unable to complete one inning of his start in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
Bauer was pulled from the game with two outs in the first inning when the injury on his finger opened and he started bleeding profusely. Images from the game can be seen below.
Bauer was supposed to start Game 2 of the ALCS but was scratched after a freak accident with a drone sliced his finger. Bauer was instead slated to start for the Indians in Game 3, despite the injury, and prior to the game he met with the media.
During the session Bauer explained that he was working on a drone when one of the four propellers suddenly started and cut the pinky finger on his throwing hand.
While the injury sounded painful, we didn't get the full extent of it until warm-ups prior to the game. That's when TBS captured this image of the finger and it looks worse than anybody imagined.
GAH! Just looking at this, it would seem that Bauer is lucky the drone didn't cut hit his finger off.

During the first inning, the stitches on the injury opened up and a steady stream of blood started falling.

Bauer tried to hide the blood by wiping it on his jersey.

But that became a fruitless endeavor as the blood was still dripping on his pants.

Eventually Blue Jays manager John Gibbons expressed concern to the umpite about the blood. The umpires met with Bauer and the Indians medical staff and he was eventually be pulled from the game after just 21 pitches.
