Charlie Sheen BP

Charlie Sheen took batting practice with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, he says as preparation for his role in the upcoming sequel to Major League. Wait, doesn’t he play a relief pitcher? In the American League? Anyway, it all ended the way you thought it might.

The 45-year-old actor was practicing for a scene on the movie at Chase Field in Phoenix – home of the Arizona Diamondbacks – when he ruptured the ulnar nerve in his elbow, causing filming on the project to be halted on Sunday.

Charlie confirmed he is recovering at his house.

He said: “I’m at home and I’m at peace.”

Bosses at the baseball stadium tweeted a picture of the star saying he had been “great” while he was there.

They tweeted: “Charliesheen took BP earlier today as he prepares for next Major League’ movie. Was great to all the guys. WINNING(sic)”

On the DL … again:

Hey, by the way, Sheen’s roast on Comedy Central is Sept. 19 … the same night as the premiere of the new season of Two and A Half Men with newly-cast Ashton Kutcher in Sheen’s old role. #Awkward.
