DJ LeMahieu’s status was unclear several hours before Friday’s game after the infielder was hit with a ball in the face during warmups.
LeMahieu was getting reps at first base during infield practice and caught one ball as another drilled him.
LeMahieu grabbed at his face and hustled into the dugout, where he went down and received treatment.
A trainer tended to him and Gleyber Torres ran off the field to sit with him, putting his hand on LeMahieu’s shoulder.
The trainer appeared to get checking on LeMahieu’s jaw for several moments before LeMahieu walked down the tunnel and into the clubhouse on his own power.
There was no immediate update on LeMahieu, who was in the lineup at first base and batting ninth for a series-opener against the Rockies in The Bronx.
