Los Angeles Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker had surgery Sunday night to stop additional bleeding in his skull after getting hit in the head by a line drive.
Angels general manager Billy Eppler told reporters Monday that the surgery was successful and that Shoemaker is speaking and recovering at a Seattle hospital.
Shoemaker was diagnosed with a small skull fracture and a hematoma Sunday after being hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager.
"The fact of the matter is he was conscious, and at least all his reactions were what they were supposed to be on the assessment.
