Los Angeles Angels right-hander Chase Silseth was transported to a hospital after being struck in the head on an unusual play during the fourth inning of Saturday night's 5-3 victory over the host New York Mets.
Silseth was injured on a play in which two Mets were on second base but Los Angeles catcher Logan O'Hoppe threw the ball to first.
Angels first baseman Trey Cabbage then threw the ball to third after Francisco Lindor broke in that direction, and Silseth was hit as he scurried to get in position to back up the play.
Silseth took a couple more steps before he fell to the ground after being struck. He was attended to by trainers and eventually was helped off the field.
