On the first at-bat of the team’s second-to-last spring training game, Twins outfielder Nick Gordon suffered a scary collision with teammate Max Kepler while trying to track down a fly ball in deep left-center field. Gordon remained on the ground for several seconds while being checked on by Kepler.
Gordon was removed from the game, and after being examined by the medical team, he cleared concussion protocols and was diagnosed with a head contusion. He’s considered day-to-day, per Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Gordon was the No. 5 overall pick by Minnesota in the 2014 draft.
