Baltimore Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad was pulled from Saturday's lineup against the New York Yankees after he was hit in the helmet by a pitch during Friday's game.
Kjerstad was initially listed in the Orioles' lineup before being replaced by Austin Hays in left field about 90 minutes ahead of first pitch.
According to multiple reports, Kjerstad wasn't feeling 100% after taking part in pregame drills, leading to the decision to remove him from the lineup.
Kjerstad was hit in the helmet by a 97 mph pitch from Yankees closer Clay Holmes, prompting the benches to empty in the bottom of the ninth inning of New York's 4-1 victory.
