Details

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Hunter Biggs was injured when Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman threw a foul ball into the Rays' dugout on Thursday.

The incident occurred in the seventh inning when Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman fouled off a pitch from Connor Seibold toward the first-base dugout at Steiner Stadium in Tampa, Florida

A rather horrific moment, as it was recorded, the ball impact traveled at 105 mph (over 60 mph). The ball hit the 27-year-old pitcher, who was already on the injured list and recovering from a muscle strain, as he leaned on the railing in front of the dugout.

Hunter Biggs did not lose consciousness, was confident, and was able to speak while receiving medical attention.

He gave a thumbs-up as he was taken off the field in a cart.

Comment

Tampa Bay Rays manager and coach Kevin Cash said after the game that Biggs did not lose consciousness and was coherent and talking while receiving medical attention.

Of course, you feel for Hunter and his wife. I can't imagine what they've been going through with her. It's scary for everyone, no one more than them.

Reminder

During the Nations League final in Munich, a fan tragically died after falling from the stands. Emergency services tried to help, but the injuries were incompatible with life.

Fiorentina player Edoardo Bove had an epileptic seizure and cardiac arrest during a match against Inter. The footballer is currently conscious and under medical supervision.

Edoardo Bove left the intensive care unit three days after losing consciousness.
