Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Rymer Liriano was hit in the face by a pitch and bleeding from his nose as he was carried off the field Sunday in Phoenix during a 3-1 win over the Dodgers.
There was no immediate report on his condition.
Liriano’s left eye appeared to be severely swollen when he was strapped to a backboard. He was taken to a hospital in downtown Phoenix.
“He’s conscious but ... it’s serious,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “I don’t know. He got hit in the head. I can’t give you many details.”
The pitch from Matt West went under the brim of Liriano’s batting helmet and hit him on the left side of the face in the eighth inning.
