Robbie Ray was warming up in left field as he usually does before every start when he accidentally overthrew a ball into the stands.

The ball flew past catcher John Ryan Murphy’s glove and hit a young fan in the head, Ray said after Sunday’s game at Chase Field. Before he answered any questions from the gathered media, Ray noted that he was thankful that the child shook off the incident.
