New York Mets OF Kevin Pillar has multiple nasal fractures after being hit in face by pitch

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar suffered multiple nasal fractures Monday night when he was hit in the face by a fastball from Atlanta Braves reliever Jacob Webb, a frightening scene that shook both teams.

Pillar made everyone feel a lot better when he brought out the lineup card before Tuesday night's game.

Pillar was at Truist Park after meeting with a facial specialist to determine the next steps in his recovery.

"I feel good. I feel real good actually. Despite not looking so good, I feel as close to normal as possible," Pillar told reporters before the Mets' 4-3 win.
