After a scary incident in which New York Yankees starting pitcher Bryan Mitchell was hit in the face by a line drive, the right hander was diagnosed with a small nasal fracture.
Bryan Mitchell suffered a small nasal fracture. He has been released from the hospital. NYY docs will monitor any concussion symptoms.
Mitchell was making a spot start on Monday night, as the Yankees hoped to give their pitchers in the starting rotation an extra day of rest before their next outing. The Yankees were hoping Mitchell could give them a few innings against the Minnesota Twins, but the injury forced him to leave the game early.
