Overview

  • The designated hitter was struck in the sixth inning while attempting a bunt against Detroit left-hander Tarik Skubal’s 99 mph fastball.
  • He received on-field treatment, gave a thumbs-up as he was carted off, and was moved from Lutheran Medical Center to Cleveland Clinic for evaluation.
  • Manager Stephen Vogt said Fry stayed conscious and was standing and alert at the hospital, and he has since been discharged with follow-up care planned.
  • The team estimates a six- to eight-week recovery after doctors diagnosed multiple minimally displaced facial and nasal fractures without the need for surgery.
  • Cleveland won 5-2 to pull even with Detroit atop the AL Central, while Skubal voiced concern and said he reached out to Fry, and the Guardians thanked medical responders.
