This is especially worrisome because Beachy had some elbow discomfort after his last outing and the Braves gave him three days of extra rest before Saturday night.
Also of note: Beachy's fastball velocity to begin the game was up in the low-90s and it had dipped down to 86 in the fourth inning (via brooksbaseball.net).
Expect an MRI in the upcoming days, but let's not jump to any further conclusions just yet.
Beachy, 25, exits the game with an MLB-best 2.00 ERA. He's 5-5 with a 0.96 WHIP and 68 strikeouts in 81 innings this season.
