NEW YORK (AP) — Marlins third baseman Greg Dobbs has been to the hospital to visit the 12-year-old boy who was hit in the face by a line drive during a game between Florida and the New York Mets.
Dobbs says he went to Elmhurst Hospital on Tuesday and spent a little more than an hour with the boy and his family. He says the boy is doing OK after he was struck square in the face by Dobbs’ foul liner Monday in the opening game of a doubleheader at Citi Field.
Dobbs says the boy has a broken nose, a fractured sinus and a concussion. But he says the boy was expected to be released from the hospital Tuesday night and doctors do not anticipate any permanent damage.
