Overview

• Fry sustained multiple facial and nasal fractures from a Tarik Skubal pitch and is expected to need six to eight weeks to heal, effectively ending his season.
• He received stitches for a cut on his nose and says doctors told him the impact was inches from causing far more serious damage.
• There remains uncertainty over whether the ball nicked his bat before contact; the play was ruled a foul as he squared to bunt.
• Skubal visited Fry at the hospital to apologize, and Guardians teammates, including Steven Kwan, also stopped by to offer support.
• The team hosted an impromptu second-birthday celebration for Fry’s daughter at the ballpark, and Fry says he will stay with the club during the postseason and is optimistic about returning next year.
