Tyler Colvin Pierced In The Chest By Broken Bat
Tyler Colvin, a Chicago Cubs outfielder, is in stable condition at a Miami hospital after he was hit in the upper chest by a piece of a maple bat during Sunday's contest in Florida. The bat shattered during catcher Welington Castillo's at-bat during the Cubs vs Marlin game in Florida on Sunday. Colvin was running down the third-base line when a piece of the bat punctured his chest. The portion of the bat hit him in the upper right side of the chest. It punctured but did not stick in his chest. Doctors are taking X-rays on Colvin's chest, and there's a suture on the wound. The team said there was minimal external bleeding. Colvin was being treated with a chest tube to prevent a collapsed lung.
"I feel really bad about it," Castillo said. "It wasn't on purpose, but he's my teammate. I hope he's getting better."
Colvin went 0-for-1 with a walk and an RBI in the Cubs' 13-3 win. The right fielder is expected to miss the rest of the season. He hit .254 with 20 homers and 56 RBIs in his first year in the majors.
