WASHINGTON -- Washington Nationals infielder Adrian Sanchez is doing well one day after being hit in the chest by a pitch, according to a team spokeswoman.
Sanchez was sent to a local hospital Saturday night for a CT scan.
"He checked out fine. They kept him overnight to monitor his breathing and he's been discharged," Amanda Comak said Sunday.
A 96 mph pitch from Mets reliever Jeurys Familia struck Sanchez squarely in the chest as he tried to bunt in the eighth inning Saturday, and he remained on the ground for several minutes.
