Ryan Feltner of the Rockies becomes the second pitcher to suffer head fractures this season due to a line drive off a bat:

Colorado Rockies pitcher Ryan Feltner has a skull fracture after being struck in the head by a line drive Saturday, the team announced Sunday.

Feltner, who spent the night in the hospital, was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. Right-hander Riley Pint was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

In the second inning Saturday, the Philadelphia Phillies’ Nick Castellanos lined a 1-0 slider back to the mound at 92.7 mph. The ball went off the back right side of Feltner’s head, and the right-hander immediately collapsed to the ground as the ball deflected to first baseman C.J. Cron. Castellanos was safe with a single.

Feltner did walk off the field on his own. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery. I hope this doesn’t keep happening. If it does, it might be time to move the mound further from home plate.
