A battedpitched ball hit Ryan Vogelsong in the face Monday afternoon, and he is in the hospital with a left eye injury. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery.
Kevin Kiermaier will miss eight to ten weeks with his broken hand. I suspect the Rays are happy it wasn’t longer than that.
Update: Alex Gordon will miss three to four weeks with a fractured wrist as the Royals lose one of the best defensive leftfielders in the game.
Dang, 4 homers for the Tigers so far, but all of the solo variety.
Monday afternoon curse in Pittsburgh. Vogelsong had to leave and then the home plate umpire had to leave the next inning after getting something in his eye during a play at the plate.
It was actually a *pitched* ball that struck Vogelsong, while he was hitting.
