Yasmani Grandal leaves in 6th after foul tip off the mask

Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal left Sunday's game against the Nationals in the sixth inning after taking a foul tip off his catcher's mask.

Michael Taylor was batting and got a piece of a 1-0 pitch from Zack Greinke to open the bottom of the sixth inning. The ball caromed directly off Grandal's mask seemingly in the jaw area, prompting the catcher to call for team trainers from the dugout.

After a few minutes of discussion with director of medical services Stan Conte, Grandal walked off the field and into the clubhouse, pointing to his temples along the way.
