ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rangers outfielder Josh Smith has six stitches on the lower right side of his face, a cut inside his mouth and some slight swelling -- but no fractures -- after getting hit in the face with a pitch.
"I feel pretty good actually. I slept good," Smith said Tuesday in the Rangers' clubhouse. "It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Really no pain or anything like that."
The left-handed batter was struck in the face on a 1-0 pitch from Baltimore Orioles left-hander Danny Coulombe in Monday night's game.
