On Tuesday night, Rays superstar slugger Junior Caminero was forced to leave the All-Star Game early after being hit on the hand by a 98 miles per hour fastball in the third inning by St. Louis Cardinals closer Riley O’Brien.

Caminero came out of the contest and Matt Gelb of The Athletic reported that the slugger went get X-Rays at Citizens Bank Park with a Philadelphia Phillies doctor.
