Following Saturday’s scary accident, New York Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has been diagnosed with a mild concussion. He was hit by a come-backer off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton in a simulated game.
The line drive was estimated to be about 112mph off the bat, hitting the Japanese born pitcher square in the head. He went down on the ground for a few minutes, before being assisted off the mound. After, he was taken to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital for testing. His CT scan came clean and he was released a few hours later.
On Sunday, he was reportedly in the Yankee clubhouse and acting normal.
