Charlie Sheen injured his arm while taking part in batting practice with the Arizona Diamondbacks over the weekend.

The actor was forced to cut short his baseball exhibition at Phoenix's Chase Field on Sunday, when he ruptured the ulnar nerve in one of his elbows while swinging a bat.

Sheen later revealed that the injury has rendered him unable to grip a bat, but insisted to TMZ that he will return to the sport because he feels "at home" and "at peace" on the baseball diamond.

The 45-year-old actor portrayed fictional Cleveland Indians pitcher Rick 'Wild Thing' Vaughn in the first two Major League movies.

Sheen revealed earlier this year that he would love to return for a new Major League movie if he found a suitable script.

Former Two and a Half Men star Sheen received a mixture of cheers and boos during his appearance at the 'Gathering of the Juggalos' on Saturday.
