Seattle’s center fielder Julio Rodriguez is removed from the Mariners’ game against the Los Angeles Angels after being hit in the back of the helmet by a thrown ball. The incident occurs in the first inning as Rodriguez is running from first to second on a ground ball. First baseman Nolan Schanuel fields the ball and attempts a throw to second to turn a double play, but the throw is off-target. Rodriguez takes third base because of the errant throw, and he is struck in the helmet during the play. Following the injury, Rodriguez is taken out of the game. While the reports agree on the sequence of events—Schanuel’s fielding attempt, the errant throw, Rodriguez advancing to third, and Rodriguez being hit—the provided accounts do not include specific details on the severity of the injury or his immediate status beyond his removal from the lineup.
