It was a scary scene on Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Athletics starter Chris Bassitt was hit by a line drive in what appeared to be on the right side of his face off the bat of Chicago White Sox' Brian Goodwin in the bottom of the second inning.
The A's later provided an update on Bassitt's status.
Bassitt immediately fell to the ground and clutched his head, where blood began to pour out. A’s manager Bob Melvin immediately ran out and it appeared he asked first baseman Matt Olson where the ball had hit him. Olson pointed to his right ear.
His A's teammates were visibly shaken up.
Bassitt eventually propped up and was able to sit on his own, but the white towel continued to be filled up with blood. He walked with some assistance from the A's medical staff to a medical cart, where he was driven off the field through the centerfield wall.
Burch Smith came in to relieve Bassitt.
The White Sox, who drafted Bassitt in the 16th round of the 2011 MLB Draft, tweeted out their thoughts for his recovery.
Bassitt has been the A's ace this season, compiling a 12-3 record with a 3.06 ERA heading into Tuesday's game.
