Just hours after Red Sox infielder Justin Turner was brought to the hospital after taking a pitch to the face on Monday afternoon, Turner’s wife, Kourtney, shared a positive update on social media.
“Thank you to everyone that reached out about Justin and sent prayers,” Kourtney Turner tweeted. “We’re home now and he’s resting (okay — maybe listening to the replay of the game). 16 stitches and a lot of swelling but we are thanking God for no fractures & clear scans.”
It was a scary sight at JetBlue Park during the Red Sox’ Grapefruit League matchup against the Tigers.
In the bottom of the first inning, Justin Turner was struck in the face on a pitch from Detroit Tigers righthander Matt Manning.
