LaPorta Okay
Word comes from Beijing that Matt LaPorta is okay:
The USA Olympic medical staff informed the Indians on Tuesday that outfield prospect Matt LaPorta suffered no ill effects from being hit in the head by a pitch during Monday's game against China.
"He had no symptoms of post-concussion syndrome when he woke up Tuesday morning," said Indians head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff, who added the back left side of LaPorta's head and neck, where he was hit, was still sore.
That had to be tough for the Indians front office to watch. They trade one of their best players for a potential future star, and then watch him go down in a game half-way around the world. It least it doesn't appear to be too serious an injury.
