Jose Quintana wasn’t in command during his start against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night and one bit of his wildness even put catcher Devin Mesoraco on the disabled list with a broken foot.
Mesoraco was one of two players hit by Quintana during the Chicago Cubs 15-5 win, but his was much more costly. It happened during the second inning, when Quintana walked two batters along with the HBP. Mesoraco stayed in the game, but was taken out after the next hitter reached based.
It turns out that the pitch that hit him broke a bone in his foot.
Devin Mesoraco has a small fracture in his fifth metatarsil on his left foot. Will return to Cincy to see team docs.

You have to feel terrible for the guy and sadly this wasn’t the first time a Cubs pitcher sent a player to the DL.
Back in June, when the Cubs were playing the Washington Nationals, reliever Pedro Strop hit Trea Turner and broke his wrist.
