Rogers hit by comebacker on shin, leaves Giants-Reds game

Tyler Rogers left Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds after being hit by a comebacker on the shin. 

In the top of the sixth inning, a one-hopper off the bat of Reds' first baseman Joey Votto appeared to have hit Rogers in the shin after initially looking it hit him in the foot. 

Rodgers, accompanied by the Giants' training staff and manager Gabe Kapler walked around the mound before eventually walking off the field and straight into the clubhouse.
