Umpire Larry Vanover will be hospitalized after getting hit in the head by relay throw in the game between New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Vanover is checked for concussion and other injuries at the Cleveland Clinic, where he was taken for a routine check.<\/p>\n
The 67-year old was stationed at the second base and was knocked down by a throw from Guardians baseman Andres Gimenez, who fired the ball towards the plate and accidentally hit the umpire on the left side of his head.<\/p>\n
The referee is being processed for any head injuries and has to go through concussion protocols before returning to play.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re going to do a concussion test and it sounded like he was coherent and that he knew kind of what was going on,\u201d plate umpire Chris Guccione said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he did have that glazed look on him. He\u2019s going to be at the hospital for the rest of the night maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was scary. Very hard to focus after that after you see a colleague get hit. But they gave me updates, and I was like, \u2018All right. He\u2019s good. He\u2019s in safe hands.\u2019 So, we moved on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
