Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Ryan Vogelsong has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with facial fractures.
The team announced the move Tuesday, one day after Vogelsong left PNC Park in an ambulance after being struck in the head by a pitch. The team said after the game he'd suffered an injury to his left eye, including the orbital bone, and was admitted to Allegheny General Hospital.
Batting with the bases loaded in the bottom of the second, Vogelsong had an 0-2 count when a 92 mph fastball from Colorado Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles rode up and appeared to strike Vogelsong's head under his visor.
Vogelsong fell to the ground and stayed there until he was attended to by Pittsburgh head athletic trainer Todd Tomcyzk. It was not clear whether Vogelsong ever lost consciousness. The Pirates' trainer finally got him into a seated position with a towel held to his left eye. There appeared to be blood coming from his nose.
A cart was brought onto the field, and Vogelsong was transported to the tunnel, where an ambulance pulled in to take the pitcher away.
Right-handed pitcher A.J. Schugel has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Vogelsong's place on the active roster.
