Arizona right-hander Jason Marquis broke his right shinbone after getting hit by a line drive Sunday.
At first he stayed in the game after he was hit by a ball off the bat of the Mets’ Angel Pagan in the top of the third inning.
With one out on the fourth, the former Cubs pitcher hit Josh Thole with a pitch and dropped to the ground after his delivery clutching his right shin.
It’s possible that the line drive didn’t totally break the shin, but weakened it enough that the stress of pitching finished the job. Jason’s not likely to return this season.
Arizona leads the Mets 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh.
