New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar was hit in the face by a fastball Monday from Atlanta Braves reliever Jacob Webb in the seventh inning of the Mets’ 3-1 win, leaving him with blood pouring out of his nose and forcing him out of the game.

Mets manager Luis Rojas said Pillar underwent a CT scan, and they’d find out more Tuesday. Pillar tweeted he was “doing fine.”
