Chris Bassitt hit in face by comebacker vs. White Sox

A's right-hander Chris Bassitt was hit in the head by a 100 mph Brian Goodwin comebacker on 8/17/21 in Chicago before exiting the game. UPDATE from the A's on 8/18/21: Chris was released from Rush University Medical Center last night. He received stitches for two facial lacerations and was diagnosed with a displaced tripod fracture in his right cheek that will require surgery. An exam of his right eye was normal for vision and no other damage is currently noted in the eye or the orbital bone. In addition, a head CT scan revealed no further injury. We are grateful to the White Sox, their medical staff, and the doctors and nurses at Rush for their excellent care. We’ll have more information on Chris as it becomes available.
