Jake Odorizzi is expecting to be able to make his next start despite leaving his outing Wednesday after being drilled in the foot by a line drive.
The Tampa Bay Rays pitcher was drilled in the fifth inning by a comebacker and left the start against the Red Sox.

Odorizzi left the game after being hit, but X-rays were negative.
On Thursday, Odorizzi said he didn’t see any reason why he wouldn’t be able to make his next start. He also said he would throw a bullpen session on Friday.
