SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) - Chicago Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol suffered minor injuries in a car accident in the Dominican Republic early Tuesday.
A truck hit a car carrying Marmol, a cousin and a friend in his hometown of Bonao near 2 a.m. The All-Star right-hander had just arrived in the Caribbean nation after the Cubs were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs.
"Out of precaution they did different studies on my body, and I don't have any kind of serious injury," he wrote.
A Cubs representative in the Dominican Republic, Jose Serra, said Marmol received seven stitches in his forehead but is otherwise healthy.
Marmol pitched in 82 games this season, going 2-4 with a 2.68 ERA.
Doesn't sound like he's got anything wrong with him. It is still not a good thing to hear about especially after the end this team had. Stay safe Marmol!!
