CLEVELAND -- Major League Baseball umpire Larry Vanover was released from the hospital Friday, two days after being hit in the head by a relay throw by a Guardians player during a game against the New York Yankees.
Vanover was discharged from the Cleveland Clinic after being under care for two nights and will remain off the field until he's cleared by MLB's medical personnel. He had been scheduled to work Thursday in Cincinnati.
The 67-year-old was struck on the left side of his head in the fifth inning Wednesday by a throw from Guardians All-Star second baseman Andrés Giménez, who was firing toward home plate on the play.
