The Giants’ game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday at Citizens Bank Park took a turn for the worse when 24-year-old catcher Patrick Bailey was forced to exit the game in the second inning due to blurry vision. He is currently being evaluated for his condition.
The injury seemed to have occurred after being hit by a foul ball off the bat of Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm in the first inning. Bailey managed to walk and score in his only plate appearance of the evening before being taken out of the game.
The Giants announced that Bailey was removed from the game because of blurred vision and is undergoing evaluation. The incident serves as a reminder of the physical demands and risks that come with being a professional baseball player. The team has yet to provide an update on his condition.
