Oakland A's starting left-hander Drew Pomeranz broke his right hand when he punched a chair Monday night after a 14-8 loss to the Texas Rangers.
The injury required the A's place Pomeranz on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday.
"I just let my emotions take over me, and I did something stupid," Pomeranz told reporters. "It sucks. Obviously, I didn't mean for it to happen. It sucks because I want to play, I want to pitch.

Pomeranz (5-4) struggled in his shortest outing since joining the A's rotation in early May. He allowed eight hits and eight runs -- seven earned -- with two walks and four strikeouts.
"Hopefully, I'll be back as soon as possible," Pomeranz said. "This is the first time I've broken a bone, though, so I don't know.  http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11099779/drew-pomeranz-oakland-athletics-breaks-hand-hitting-chair
