Angels' Taylor Ward suffered facial fractures, placed on IL

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward suffered facial fractures when he was hit in the head by a pitch during Saturday's game, the team announced.

Ward, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, had been taken to a Toronto hospital for testing after being struck by a 91 mph pitch from Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah in the fifth inning. The ball appeared to strike Ward next to his left eye, knocking off his batting helmet and sending blood running down his face.

"It got him pretty flush," Angels manager Phil Nevin said Saturday.
