Red Sox infielder Justin Turner has left Boston’s spring training game against Detroit after being hit in the head with a fastball from Matt Manning.
The pitch knocked Turner to the ground and Turner’s helmet flew off of his head. He was bleeding from his face as he rolled over and tried to get up.
Eventually, Turner was able to walk off the field as a person held a towel up to his face. Turner was taken to a local hospital via ambulance, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe.
