Justin Turner Hit in the Face With a Pitch, Leaves Game With Bloody Nose

Justin Turner was hit in the face with a pitch during Monday's Detroit Tigers - Boston Red Sox Spring Training game. Turner appeared to take a Matt Manning fastball square in the face and immediately went down, and blood could be seen streaming from his nose. Turner was able to walk off the field with a towel being held on his face, but it looks like a broken nose.
Oh no no no

Awful scene in the Red Sox game as Justin Turner gets hit in the head and immediately goes down.
He’s been removed from the game. Hoping for the best.

Turner, a two-time MLB All-Star who was the NLCS MVP in 2017, signed a 1-year deal with the Red Sox during the offseason for more than $8 million. He started the game at first and hit third in the lineup. Manning was out of the game a few minutes later after giving up four runs.
