Jeff Samardzija Concussed Michael Morse During Harper-Strickland Brawl

Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper and San Francisco Giants pitcher Hunter Strickland started throwing punches during Monday's game, but Giants outfielder Michael Morse was the one who suffered an injury.

According to Giants manager Bruce Bochy, Morse suffered a concussion and was placed on the disabled list Tuesday. Morse and Giants pitcher Jeff Samardzija collided during the brawl that ensued after Harper charged the mound when Strickland hit him with a pitch.

San Francisco recalled Kelby Tomlinson to take Morse's roster spot.

"That's the unfortunate thing about these brawls you have," Bochy said about the injury.
