The San Francisco Giants said Monday that first baseman Brandon Belt, who’s leading the team in homers with 29, has a broken left thumb.

Belt left Sunday’s game against the Colorado Rockies in the seventh inning after getting hit on the hand with a pitch while batting. It’s unclear if he’ll be able to play in the final week of the season and the playoffs. The Giants were the first team to clinch a playoff spot earlier this month.

 

Cleveland Plays Final Game Under Indians Name

The Cleveland Indians won their final home game under that team name Monday night, with the franchise set to change its name to the Guardians next season.

Fans who watched the Indians defeat the Kansas City Royals 8-3 at Progressive Field cheered and chanted, “Let's Go Indians!” during the final three outs.
The franchise has been the Indians since 1915, but it was announced in July that they’d become the Guardians after years of criticism from Native American groups and others over the name.
