The Kansas City Royals placed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough on the 15-day injured list Monday, a day after he was hit in the face with a line drive.
The team noted that Yarbrough sustained "head fractures" but did not provide further details about his condition in Monday's announcement.
The incident took place in the top of the sixth inning of Kansas City's home game against the Oakland A's. With the Royals leading 2-1 with one out, Yarbrough threw a 3-2 sinker to A's first baseman Ryan Noda, who hit a comebacker. Yarbrough tried to duck as he completed his followthrough, but the line drive hit him on the left side of his face.
