Toronto Blue Jays pitcher T.J. House had to be taken off the field in an ambulance during Friday's spring training game against the Detroit Tigers when a comebacker hit him in the head.
Per Craig Calcaterra of NBC Sports, Tigers catcher John Hicks hit a line drive that hit off House in the "head/facial area and caromed 30 feet in the air," but he was able to give a thumbs up to the crowd as the paramedics were loading him into the ambulance.
Tom Young of the Blue Jays Radio Network tweeted out a picture of the ambulance on the field with Blue Jays coaches and umpires surrounding the area:
