The four-year-old son of Erik Swanson is expected to leave the hospital "in the next day or two" after being struck by a car on February 25, the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher told reporters Thursday.
"I stand here very happily telling you that in the next day or two, he should probably be going home," Swanson said, per Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith. "Based off of the situation, we're very, very lucky with everything that happened and the outcome of where we're at now."
Toby Swanson was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition after being struck by an SUV piloted by a valet driver from the nearby Opal Sands Resort in Clearwater, Florida, according to ESPN and the Tampa Bay Times' Dan Sullivan.
