Tampa Bay Rays minor league pitcher Tyler Zombro is planning on resuming his playing career after he was struck in the head by a comebacker in June.
Zombro told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times that he intends on attending minor league spring training and he expects to pitch again this season. He said he underwent a CT scan in December that revealed that the fracture he suffered had healed.
"They said, 'You're good to go,'" Zombro said. "So I've booked my housing for spring (training), and I'll be there."
A right-handed reliever, Zombro was pitching for Tampa Bay's Triple-A affiliate in Durham when he was hit by a line drive up the middle that was clocked at 104 mph.
