LOS ANGELES – Rhys Hoskins has a cut on his lip but seems to have escaped without serious injury after a scary incident in the ninth inning of a 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Hoskins fouled off Kenley Jansen’s 95 mph fastball, which then richoted off his arm before smacking him in the face. He immediately dropped to the dirt and was aided by the team’s medical staff before being lifted from the game. Manager Gabe Kapler said Hoskins has a “big, fat cut on the inside of his bottom lip.”
“I’m not overly concerned at this point,” Kapler said.
