Dylan Cease exits the Chicago White Sox’s 1-0 win against the Cleveland Indians with a bruised right triceps after being hit with a hard comebacker: ‘It could have been a lot worse.’

“I thought we caught a real break,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “It hit him in a spot, part of the muscle, wasn’t sure if it nicked the elbow. But he said he felt good to throw, and I said, ‘You think you can?’ But when you make a throw, you make an alteration, that’s how you get hurt. I said, ‘You can be upset at me if you want to, but that’s not worth the risk.’ ”
