Terry Francona Shares Concerning Update on Emilio Pagan After Loss to Cubs

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Emilio Pagan threw a single pitch on Tuesday night and immediately grabbed his hamstring before falling over in pain.

It was a moment that could be felt through the television. Despite his struggles this season, Pagan is one of the leaders on this team, and you could see the concerned looks on all of his teammates' faces.

After the game, Terry Francona shared an update on Emilio Pagán, and you could hear how much he felt for him in his voice.

"He's going to get scanned in the morning, I think at 8:50," Francona said. "We will know a lot more then. He's certainly going to be an IL. We just need to see the extent of how bad he did it because you could see by his reaction that he was struggling."

Francona confirmed it was Pagan's left hamstring, which was the same hamstring he felt something in a couple of weeks ago. The skipper was asked if Pagan had still been dealing with that injury.

"I just went and saw him and he said he hadn't felt it," Francona said. "He said he warmed up fine. He said, 'I would never do that.' I believe him."

Jose Trevino also spoke about the Pagan injury after the game.

"That's a tough pill to swallow," he said. "As one of our leaders, as one of our captains, one of the dudes that cares about this team more than a lot of us. He's a big piece of this. I don't know the results yet. I am not a doctor. Obviously, it didn't look good. It's tough, man."

Trevino was asked if he saw anything in warmups to suggest Pagan was dealing with anything.

"I wasn't looking at that in warmups."
