Arizona’s Geraldo Perdomo leaves game after being hit in the helmet by a line drive
Perdomo walked off under his own power after a 93 mph line drive from Ketel Marte struck his helmet, and the team gave no immediate injury update.
On Sunday, Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo left the game against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park after being struck in the helmet by a 93 mph line drive from teammate Ketel Marte during the third inning.
Perdomo collapsed immediately, writhing in pain as manager Torey Lovullo and trainer Max Esposito rushed to attend to him; after several minutes, he walked off the field under his own power.
Following the incident, Ildemaro Vargas shifted from first base to shortstop to replace Perdomo, while utilityman Tim Tawa entered the game at first base for Arizona.
The Diamondbacks did not immediately provide details on Perdomo's condition, though broadcaster Todd Walsh reported the shortstop walked into the tunnel for evaluation.
Perdomo had appeared in 139 of Arizona's 143 games this season, maintaining mostly good health while providing exceptional defensive play before Sunday's incident.
