Mets’ Kevin Pillar has multiple nasal fractures after bloody beaning
NY Post
Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar suffered multiple nasal fractures after being hit in the face with a fastball Monday night, the team announced. He’s set to meet a facial specialist in Atlanta to determine the next course of action.
Pillar, 32, was beaned by Jacob Webb’s 94 mph fastball in the top of the seventh inning and blood immediately gushed from his face. After several moments on the ground, he was able to walk off while covering his face with a towel. “Thanks to everyone that has reached out!” Pillar wrote on Twitter after the game. “Scary moment, but I’m doing fine.”
