Jordan Zimmermann Leaves with Injury After Being Hit in Head with Line Drive

Detroit Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmermann left Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians after being struck in the head by a line drive.

Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis—the second batter Zimmerman faced in the game—hit a liner back up the middle, and the Tigers right-hander was unable to get his glove up in time. Fox Sports Detroit provided footage of the scary moment.

Zimmerman left the game and was able to walk off the field under his own power, as Fox Sports Detroit noted. Left-hander Daniel Norris took over on the mound for the Tigers.
