Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki, 38, exits game in third inning with neck contusion after being struck with warmup pitch

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki left Saturday's night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a neck contusion after being hit with a warmup pitch in the third inning.

During the seventh inning, the Angels said Suzuki is alert and undergoing further testing.

With the Blue Jays leading, 1-0, Suzuki was catching pitches from starter Michael Lorenzen prior to the top of the third inning, when one bounced and appeared to him Suzuki in the neck area.

The 38-year-old veteran was guided off the field by the team training staff as manager Joe Maddon walked with them.
