Mazzilli improving after being struck by foul ball

New York Yankees guest instructor Lee Mazzilli will remain in the hospital for at least another night after being struck on the head by a batted ball during batting practice in Tampa, Florida, Wednesday.

A team spokesman said Thursday that doctors are "just being cautious" with Mazzilli.

Yankees team spokesman Jason Zillo said he spoke with Mazzilli's wife, who said that Thursday was a much better day than Wednesday.

Mazzilli is in good spirits, Zillo said, and is humbled and appreciative by how many people in the baseball world have reached out to him in the last 24 hours.
