Tampa Bay Rays Reluver Hunter Bigzes admitted to the hospital after taking a foul ball to his face while sitting in a dugout during Thursday’s game, but team officials on Friday received some encouraging news as the initial medical evaluation gave positive indications.
Raz Manager Kevin Cash and Baseball Operations President Eric Nender visited the business on Friday and shared an update before Tampa Bay’s home game against Detroit Tigers.
“To see and talk to Hunter, he was in good souls,” Cash told reporters. “Also there is not a ton information. But for me personally, witness and what happened to see what happened (Thursday), to see how she was today, and being able to interact, things were really going in a good direction.”
Biggge, who is currently with a late strain in the injured list, was sitting on the bench in front of the dugout, when he was hit by a dishonest ball from the bat of Edli Rutsman of Baltimore during the seventh inning with a dishonest ball to the right of his face. He had to be taken out of the dugout on the stretcher, but gave a thumb to the crowd after being loaded on the medical cart.
“It’s a frightening thing,” said Brandon Lov, the other baseless rays. “But certainly some good news from the employees and those who have become able to stop them and see them. What we are hearing is how scary the incident was last night.”
After starting his major league career with the Chicago cub in the previous season, Big was traded for rays in July. In 32 Total Big-League Games (including a start), the business is 0–0 with 2.51 ERA and a sev.
