Anonymous
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo left Sunday's game against the Houston Astros after being struck in the helmet by a line drive from teammate Ketel Marte in the third inning, according to AP News. Perdomo immediately fell to the ground and writhed in pain after the collision on the basepaths.
The Diamondbacks ruled Perdomo out of the game after being hit in fair territory. He was replaced by Ildemaro Vargas. The New York Times reported that the team had not released an immediate update on Perdomo's condition following the incident.
Line Drive Strikes Perdomo During Third Inning
The collision occurred when Marte hit a line drive that struck Perdomo in the helmet while he was on the basepaths, according to Houston Chronicle. Perdomo had just singled and was on base when the accident happened. The impact was forceful enough to knock him down immediately.
Yahoo Sports confirmed that Perdomo took the hit directly to his helmet, a protective measure that likely prevented more serious injury. Medical staff attended to him on the field before he was removed from play.
Astros Continue Scoring After the Incident
Despite the scary moment, the Diamondbacks' offense kept moving. Ketel Marte remained on first base after the collision and eventually advanced. Nolan Arenado launched a two-run home run later in the game that scored Marte and put runs on the board for Arizona.
Vargas Steps In as Perdomo's Replacement
Ildemaro Vargas took over at shortstop for the Diamondbacks after Perdomo's exit. The team made the defensive switch to keep the lineup stable. No word had been released about the nature or severity of Perdomo's injury as of the game's later innings.
