Voit gets hit in face by pitch, scores, then leaves

MLB

New York Yankees slugger Luke Voit left the team’s game against the Colorado Rockies after being hit in the face by a pitch.

Voit was hit by a 91.4 mph pitch from Chad Bettis in the bottom of the fourth inning and initially remained in the game.

He eventually scored from third on a Gleyber Torres single to give the Yankees a 9-0 lead at the time, but he was lifted at the top of the sixth inning.

DJ LeMahieu moved from third base to replace Voit at first, while Gio Urshela entered the game to take over at third.

Voit was tested for a concussion, but he has been cleared, and no further testing is planned.
