Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Amed Rosario says he received two stitches after being hit in the head with a 99-mile-per-hour fastball in the top of Saturday's first inning in Pittsburgh.
"I feel good. Luckily it wasn't anything worse," Rosario said through a translator after the Rays' 4-3 loss to the Pirates (h/t Bally Sports Florida.) "It wasn't too much. They gave me just two stitches on there."
Rosario was struck in the helmet on a third pitch from Pirates rookie Jared Jones.
Bally Sports' Tricia Whitaker reported that Rosario suffered "facial lacerations," but that an initial evaluation did not reveal any broken bones on the injury.
