What happened: An in-game injury delay involving Troy Johnston was flagged in the bottom of the eighth inning, with the scoreboard reading 6-17 at the time of the stoppage. The advisory notes only the delay itself; the nature and severity of the issue were not specified in the source. No diagnosis, replacement, or further roster detail has been confirmed.
Why it matters: Late-inning injury delays in already-decided games are routine but can still carry roster consequences if the player is unable to continue. Until the team confirms whether Johnston stayed in or was removed, the impact is limited to monitoring his status for the next game.
What to watch: Watch for a postgame update on whether Johnston remained in the lineup or required evaluation, and whether his availability changes for the following game.
