Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu and Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier both left Friday's game after colliding with each other in the second inning of Game 1 of a doubleheader between the teams.
Abreu is day-to-day after leaving the game with a facial contusion, laceration and a bruised left knee, the team announced. The initial assessment for a concussion was negative.
The Royals did not disclose Dozier's status.
The nasty collision occurred after Dozier popped up right in front of home plate. As Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal and Abreu converged on it, Dozier started to run to first base, and while avoiding Grandal, he ran right into Abreu who was looking up at the ball.
