Kansas City Royals right-hander Seth Lugo was forced to exit Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers<\/a> after a scary moment in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lugo was hit on the head by a 106.6 m.p.h. line drive by Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 36-year-old was immediately sent to the ground on the play, but stood up under his own power before team training staff could reach the mound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nimmo, who was Lugo’s teammate with the New York Mets from 2016 to 2022, ran to check on the veteran pitcher after time was called.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There was a visible welt on Lugo’s forehead as he left the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lugo ended up walking off the field under his own power while joking with Nimmo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Right-hander Mason Black came into the game in Lugo’s place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lugo’s final line showed three hits and one run allowed with two strikeouts and one walk over 3.1 innings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The outing dropped his ERA on the year to 3.86 over 14 starts and 79.1 innings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
