He fell to the ground in pain, clutching his bleeding nose. Manager Terry Collins and team trainers rushed to his aide.

The Mets announced he was taken to the hospital for X-rays but did not elaborate on his condition. 

The announcers were quick to comment he was lucky the ball didn’t hit him in his eye, which could potentially cause vision damage.
