Porcello hit on pitching thumb by Cespedes' grounder (Yahoo Sports)

Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello was struck on the pitching hand by Yoenis Cespedes' fourth-inning grounder during his start Wednesday for the Boston Red Sox against a New York Mets' split squad. ''It's fine right now,'' Porcello said. Porcello gave up a homer to Jay Bruce and a double to Lucas Duda, then left the game.
