Texas Rangers pitcher Luke Farrell was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture on the right side of his jaw after after he was struck by a line drive while pitching the ninth inning in a scoreless tie against the San Francisco Giants.
Farrell struck out the first batter he faced but couldn’t get his glove up to stop a liner from Jalen Smith. Farrell was bleeding from his mouth and needed some assistance as he left field and was taken to the hospital across the street from Scottsdale Stadium.
The Rangers reported that Farrell, who was making his third appearance of the spring, was alert and headed for an x-ray machine, which showed a fracture.
