CHICAGO (AP) — Pittsburgh rookie outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez left Friday's game against the Cubs after injuring himself while running to first base on a grounder in the sixth inning.

Valdez grabbed the back of his left leg and limped off the field with his arms draped around the shoulders of training staff after shortstop Nico Hoerner threw him out. He was replaced in right field by Billy Cook, who misjudged Seiya Suzuki's fly ball on the first play in the bottom half of the inning and allowed it to fall for a triple.

Valdez entered batting .235 with 17 homers and 47 RBIs in 71 games. The 22-year-old made his major league debut on May 22 at Toronto.
