Karen Warren/Staff photographerCHICAGO — A line drive struck Astros reliever Josh James in the upper back during his minor league rehab appearance with Class AAA Sugar Land on Friday. James stayed in the game after sustaining the blow, but only finished ⅓ of an inning on nine pitches.
“The plan wasn’t for him to just go nine pitches,” manager Dusty Baker said. “Evidently he must have been affected by that.”
James, who underwent hip surgery last October and suffered a hamstring injury earlier this season, has made six rehab appearances since June 25. The two preceding Friday’s outing lasted longer than an inning. James threw 31 pitches on July 12 in a two-inning stint.
Baker had no further updates on James or whether Friday’s incident will set him back. James has not pitched in the major leagues this season.
