Angels left fielder Taylor Ward was forced to leave Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays after getting struck in the head by a pitch from Alex Manoah.
With the bases loaded in the top of the fifth inning, Ward took a 2–0, 92 mph offering from the Toronto starter straight to the forehead. He dropped to the ground and was visibly bleeding as medical staff rushed out to meet him.
Right after throwing the pitch, Manoah was among the players around the diamond to recoil and express concern for Ward, who remained down.
