Major League Baseball may be giving Rodolfo Castro a phone call.
The league is reportedly looking into the bizarre incident that transpired during Tuesday’s Pirates-Diamondbacks game, in which a cell phone fell out of Castro’s back pocket as he slid into third base.
According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Castro is “technically in violation of MLB’s regulation prohibiting electronic devices on the field or in the dugout,” with the lone exception being MLB-approved iPads. It is unknown if Castro will face discipline from the league.
After the game, Castro expressed remorse for the incident, maintaining that it was “very unintentional.”
“I don’t think there’s any professional ballplayer that would ever go out there with any intentions of taking a cellphone,” Castro told reporters through an interpreter. “It’s horrible it happened to me.”
