Rays pitching coach injured on walk to mound visit

Published August 6, 2022 10:00 PM

DETROIT (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays pitching coach Kyle Snyder injured himself walking toward the mound to visit ace Shane McClanahan during the seventh inning of a 9-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. The 44-year-old Snyder had to return to the dugout, and manager Kevin Cash went out to speak with McClanahan instead. Cash said Snyder appeared to pull a calf muscle but joked “we haven’t gotten the final injury report yet.” The Rays have 15 players on the injured list. Snyder is a 6-foot-8 former major league pitcher who has been the club’s pitching coach since 2018.
