Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer was struck in the head by a 96 mph sinker Monday evening against the Baltimore Orioles, forcing him to leave the contest.
Orioles pitcher Kade Strowd's first offering to Springer with one out in the ninth inning ricocheted off Springer's helmet, sending him to the ground, where he spent two minutes collecting himself and being treated before ultimately getting helped off of the field. Springer was replaced with pinch runner Leo Jimenez as Baltimore polished off an 11–4 win.
