Counsell: Liriano doing well after HBP in face

PHOENIX -- Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Rymer Liriano was released from the hospital and visited his teammates in the clubhouse Monday, a day after he was hit in the face by a pitch.

The 24-year-old Liriano sustained multiple facial and nasal fractures. He will start the season on the disabled list, manager Craig Counsell said.

Counsell visited Liriano in the hospital. Later, Liriano joined the Brewers at the ballpark before they played the Los Angeles Angels.

"He got to see everybody," Counsell said. "It was good, I'm glad everybody was able to say hi to him and see that he was OK.
