comebacker

Then a Cactus League comebacker drilled Treinen in the right rib cage March 9.

Flaherty avoided a worst-case scenario, staying in the game after taking a fifth-inning comebacker from Colton Cowser off his right wrist.

Buehler was also hit in the hip by a comebacker Tuesday.

Then, after watching Buehler give up seven runs in four innings to a lightweight Colorado Rockies lineup — and take a third-inning comebacker off an already ailing hip — Roberts indicated a break might be in the pitcher’s near future.

During the 2021 World Series with Atlanta, he even threw 16 pitches and got three outs — two via strikeout — after getting hit by a hard comebacker that ultimately knocked him out of Game 1 against Houston with a broken right leg.
