Iannetta, McFarland near return to lineup
Chris Iannetta gets plunked in the face and has to leave the game in the bottom of the 7th inningSAN DIEGO -- D-backs catcher Chris Iannetta, who was hit in the face by a pitch last Friday could return to the active roster Saturday.
The 93 mph fastball from Pirates right-hander Johnny Barbato hit Iannetta in the mouth, fracturing several of his teeth and splitting his top lip open. The D-backs put him through the concussion protocol and, even though it seemed as if he did not suffer one, they placed him on the 7-day concussion disabled list as a precaution.
