Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jesús Sánchez leaves a game against the Baltimore Orioles after appearing to be hit by a ball thrown from the stands. Multiple reports describe the incident at Camden Yards as unusual, with the ball reaching the field area where Sánchez was playing. Sánchez is struck in the hand and exits the game shortly afterward, though the reports provided do not include the outcome of his injury or an official medical update. The Baltimore Orioles say they are investigating the situation and have removed a fan they believe may be responsible. Fox News reports that early speculation suggested the fan may have thought Sánchez wanted to play catch, but the Orioles’ investigation indicates they are working to determine what happened and why the ball was thrown. The accounts agree on the core events: Sánchez is hit by a ball from the stands during the game, he leaves, and the Orioles are investigating after removing the suspected fan.
