MILWAUKEE (AP) Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill said Wednesday he hopes to avoid a stint on the injured list, one day after being struck on his pitching arm by a line drive. Mike Tauchman of the Chicago Cubs hit a go-ahead single in a five-run Michael Brantley Jersey 10th inning that bounced off Megills arm in a 6-3 win over the Brewers. The hit Megill on the right forearm, and the pitcher reacted in obvious pain and headed straight to the dugout. Its just a bruise, Megill said before Wednesdays game against the Cubs. I just got hit by a ball and it hurt. Right on the forearm, the meaty spot. X-rays revealed no fracture to Megills arm, but there was concern that the 30-year-old right-hander could be sidelined for an extended period. It could be a lot worse, Megill said. Now, I just have to throw and go through the proce s and be back sooner rather than later. Megill said he took a similar hit in college, but this time had a more exit velocity. Megill has eight saves in nine chances since moving into the closers role for the NL Central-leading Brewers. It sounds like hes got a chance to be back without going on the IL, manager Pat Murphy said. Not for certain, but well take a look at it for a couple days. Its a scary thing. Those balls are being hit really hard. We dodged a bullet. ------ Alex Bregman Jersey
