Red Sox IF Justin Turner hit by pitch, evaluated for concussion

Boston Red Sox infielder Justin Turner left Monday's spring training game against the Detroit Tigers after being hit in the face by a pitch.

Turner immediately fell to the ground after being struck in the face by a pitch from Tigers right-hander Matt Manning in the first inning. The two-time All-Star was bleeding as Red Sox medical personnel took him to the clubhouse.

Later in the game, the Red Sox announced that Turner was taken to a hospital in Fort Myers, Florida, and was receiving treatment for soft tissue injuries.
