Tampa Bay Rays 2015 first-round draft pick, Garrett Whitley was struck by an errant foul ball that found its way through the entrance to the dugout and smashed into the right side of the prospect’s face.
While it initially appeared Whitley would be forced to miss a significant amount of time, good news is being reported today.
MLB.com Rays’ beat writer, Juan Toribio tweeted the following:
The Orioles’ Renato Nunez yanked a foul ball skidding into the Rays dugout. The ball was a rocket and Whitley barely had time to look, let alone react.
