Oakland Athletics All-Star pitcher Chris Bassitt suffered a right cheek fracture that will require surgery when he was struck in the head by a line drive during Tuesday’s game.
Bassitt also sustained two facial lacerations that required stitches but he didn’t suffer a concussion and scan of his brain was normal.
A’s athletic trainer said Bassitt was in “really good spirits, doing well” a day later, even with his right eye still swollen shut.

The pitcher tweeted yesterday (Wednesday), “From the bottom of my heart, I’d like to thank the @whitesox and @Athletics staff, front offices, and owners. The support my family and I’ve received has been overwhelming. I’d also like to thank Rush University Medical Center and their staff. God is good. Can’t wait to get back!”
