I'd guess more likely that they're just making sure he doesn't aggravate it as he comes back.

Rest assured, Hap, that Pettis will wave you home no matter how late you're running.

That was a great play by DeShields, unfortunately. But don't the Rangers have to appeal the re-touching the base thing?

Some shitty baseball there by Carlos. Swing at a bad pitch after a four pitch walk and a base running blunder.

Beltran ran to 2nd and rounded, then beelined back to 1st on the catch. He didn't retouch 2nd.

They threw to 2B, that's the appeal. It's a live ball appeal.

A base running appeal is made at the base where the infraction occurred. If the ball I still live, they can simply throw to that base. It's just like doubling a guy off on a caught ball. That's a live ball appeal.

And Keuchel punished again by the fucking scrub behind the plate. Keuchel hits the outside corner 2 more times for balls and Beltre eventually hits a homer.
