New York Yankees' Marwin Gonzalez exits after catcher's throw hits him on head

MILWAUKEE -- New York Yankees first baseman Marwin Gonzalez left Saturday's game with the Milwaukee Brewers after getting hit on the head by a throw from catcher Victor Caratini while standing in the batter's box.

Caratini had just received a pitch from Brandon Woodruff and was attempting to get the ball back to the pitcher, but the catcher's throw instead struck the left-handed-hitting Gonzalez on the left side of his helmet.

Gonzalez was examined byan athletic trainer for a few minutes before getting removed from the game.
