Overview

• Fry sustained multiple facial and nasal fractures when a Tarik Skubal pitch struck him as he squared to bunt in the sixth inning, a play ruled a foul with bat contact still uncertain.
• He received stitches for a nose laceration, is dealing with significant swelling, does not require surgery, and has a follow-up appointment this week.
• Doctors indicated no concussion or tooth loss, and Fry said he feels fortunate as he recovers on a soft-food diet.
• Five days after the incident, he was out of the hospital, walking the clubhouse, speaking with reporters, and expressing optimism about his recovery.
• Support poured in as Skubal visited to apologize, teammates and staff stopped by the hospital, the club held a birthday party for Fry’s daughter, and his jersey was in the dugout during Cleveland’s playoff clinch; he is not expected on the postseason roster.
