Milwaukee Brewers' Victor Caratini reared back to throw the ball back to starter Brandon Woodruff after he threw a strike, but it hit Gonzalez on the left side of his helmet.

Gonzalez, who had left Friday night's game with dizziness, was taken out of the game after chatting with a trainer and manager Aaron Boone.

Gonzalez was playing first base - he's their third-string first baseman behind Anthony Rizzo and DJ LeMahieu, who is one of many Yankees on the IL. Oswaldo Cabrera, who never played first base until Friday night, took over.

Several Yankees are slated to come back from the injured list within the next few days, including Rizzo, Luis Severino and Harrison Bader, and several have already returned.

From Aug. 9 to Sept. 8, the Yankees placed nine different players on the injured list. They already had been without Michael King, Chad Green and Luis Gil for the season due to different injuries, while Zack Britton has not played all year - although he is rehabbing.
