Dylan Cease appeared to be flexing his right hand after his final pitch, a potential sign of injury. He later looked to be lobbying to stay in the game, before he left it.
Of course, a significant injury would be a major blow for the Padres and their hopes of contending in October. It also would be a rare outcome for Cease: The right-hander has missed only one start in his career. (As a White Sox rookie in 2019, he was scratched from his final start after tweaking a hamstring.)
