Holy crap!
Matt Shoemaker sustained a small skull fracture and hematoma when hit by a line drive during Sunday's start against the Mariners.
The right-hander will spend the night in the hospital and visit a neurologist. There is no clear timetable for his return at the moment, but with the Angels out of playoff contention they certainly won't rush him back into action. Sep 4 - 7:36 PM
Matt Shoemaker was forced to leave Sunday's start against the Mariners after being drilled in the head by a line drive off the bat of Kyle Seager.
The line drive was clocked at 105 mph, and hit Shoemaker in the right side of his head. In a very scary moment, Shoemaker remained on the ground for some time while being tended to by medical staff. He was able to walk off the field with the help of the trainers, holding a towel to his head. He'll head for further evaluation. The Angels should have an update on his status shortly, but fantasy owners relying on him for next week may want to secure an alternative option. Sep 4 - 4:47 PM
