Liriano hit in face
Print Edition
MILWAUKEE Brewers outfielder Rymer Liriano was stretchered off and taken to hospital after being struck a horrifying blow to the face while batting against Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Matt West in a preseason game on Sunday.
West’s pitch in the eighth inning struck Liriano flush on the left side of his face, just below the brim of his batting helmet and he crumpled to the ground, his arms and legs flailing. Team trainers and medical staff tended him before he was immobilized then driven off the field to a waiting ambulance and taken to hospital. “Rymer Liriano suffered multiple facial fractures during today’s game and will remain in the hospital for further testing and observation,” the Brewers wrote on their official Twitter feed late on Sunday. Earlier Brewers manager Craig Counsell had said that Liriano was conscious but added: “It’s serious.” The Brewers acquired Liriano, 25, from the San Diego Padres in the offseason. A .277 hitter with 68 home runs and 378 RBI, he was set to compete for the Brewers starting job and is out of minor league options.
