Oakland Athletics rookie Joshua Kuroda-Grauer underwent emergency surgery after rupturing a testicle by fouling a pitch into his groin during Monday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Kuroda-Grauer, 23, suffered the injury in the fifth inning but remained in the game long enough to finish the plate appearance, lining a nearly 100 mph fastball into right-center field for his second hit of the night. Earlier in the game, he had hit his first major league home run.
