Boston Red Sox veteran Justin Turner left a spring training game on Monday after taking a pitch directly to the face, leaving him on the ground and bleeding from his mouth.
The scary scene came in the bottom of the first inning, with Turner facing Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning. Turner spent a minute on the ground as Red Sox trainers looked at him and eventually left covering his face with a towel.
The Red Sox released a statement a couple hours later saying Turner had been taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. He is reportedly in stable condition, but receiving treatment for soft tissue injuries and being monitored for a concussion.
