Justin Turner was left with blood streaming from his face on Monday after being struck in the face by a fastball at JetBlue Park.
During the first inning of a spring training match between Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers, Turner was struck in the face by a Matt Manning pitch, and immediately went down. Blood was seen pouring from his face, and the veteran later left in an ambulance and headed to a nearby hospital.
According to the Red Sox, early indications are that Turner has dodged a major head injury and is receiving treatment for soft tissue injuries. Turner is in a stable condition, and is also being assessed for a concussion.
