He was hit with a pitch tonight during the Rockies / Dodgers game. Taken off in an ambulance.

Hope there's no serious damage, but was hard to tell.

That's sad. I hope he's ok!

ESPN just mentioned that he was taken to the hospital--hit in the jaw.

Reports are that he was coherent, and was only "out" for a couple of minutes.

Thanks, Ellen.

We're still watching the game here, and they just gave an update.

It sure was scary to watch him hit the ground.

Sure is-they are pretty vulnerable out there! Hope the reports continue to be positive.
