Wacha was at 88 pitches at the time of the foul ball. It looks like he had avoided any serious injury but his next start could be pushed back regardless.
On the season Wacha owns a 2.54 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. In six innings of work against Arizona on Wednesday he allowed two hit and three walks while striking out four.
