Tigers pitcher Ferrell hit in head by liner, jogs off mound
Detroit Tigers pitcher Jeff Ferrell was alert and responsive after being hit in the head by a line drive Monday night.
Ferrell was struck in the right side of the head by a drive off the bat off Oakland’s Ryon Healy measured at 102.6 mph.
Ferrell never went down, and immediately jogged toward the Tigers dugout. He was met by trainer Kevin Rand, and after a brief examination, was escorted to the Detroit clubhouse.
Ferrell was taken to a hospital and had a precautionary CT scan. The Tigers say he is walking under his own power.
