The Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-hander Ryan Vogelsong on the 15-day disabled list with facial fractures on Tuesday, one day after he was hit in the face with a pitch.
Vogelsong suffered an injury to his left eye and there was damage to the orbital bone, the team said after Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles threw the 92 mph fastball that appeared to hit Vogelsong under his left eye.
The 38-year-old Vogelsong crumbled to the ground and was attended to by Pittsburgh trainer Todd Tomcyzk. Vogelsong appeared to be bleeding from his nose and was transported to Allegheny General Hospital.
