Belliard strains hamstring, leaves game
07/19/2006ANAHEIM -- Ronnie Belliard left Wednesday's game against the Angels in the fifth inning with a mild left hamstring strain.
Manger Eric Wedge couldn't put a timetable on when the Indians second baseman could return to the field, as the team didn't yet know the severity of the injury.
"We'll see how he feels [Thursday], then we'll have a better idea," Wedge said. "We'll know if it's something that is going to be a couple days or see if it will be more than that."
Belliard was hurt when he hit a high chopper to shortstop. After beating out Orlando Cabrera's throw, he reached to grab his leg and gingerly slowed up down the base line. Wedge and the Indians' training staff ran to shallow right field to assist the infielder.
After a few minutes, it was determined Belliard would be unable to continue, and the second baseman walked off the field without any assistance.
Ramon Vasquez entered as a pinch-runner and scored as part of the Tribe's five-run inning.
