Perdomo Exits After 93 mph Line Drive Strikes Helmet

A brief on-field collapse that prompted defensive changes has not been followed by a team medical update.

Overview

  • Geraldo Perdomo was struck in the helmet by a 93 mph line drive off the bat of teammate Ketel Marte in the third inning and immediately fell to the field.
  • Trainors and players from both teams tended to Perdomo for several minutes before he sat up, spoke with trainers, and walked off the field under his own power.
  • The play forced immediate in-game moves, with Ildemaro Vargas shifting from first base to shortstop and Tim Tawa entering at first.
  • Local and national outlets reported the sequence and noted the Daikin Park crowd applauded as Perdomo left, but the Diamondbacks had not provided medical details.
  • Watch for an official team update on Perdomo’s condition and for any roster or lineup changes that could affect the Diamondbacks’ short-term plans.
