At this point, you’re likely aware of what occurred towards the end of Monday night’s Mets win over the Braves. In the top of the seventh inning, New York outfielder Kevin Pillar took a 95 mile-per-hour fastball from Atlanta reliever Jacob Webb to the face. The incident caused him to leave what was eventually a 3-1 victory and subsequently hit the injured list Tuesday with multiple facial fractures.
However, Pillar is feeling fine, according to the man himself. The 32-year-old had a chance to speak to the media before his team’s Tuesday night matchup at Truist Park.
