Tigers Pitcher Jordan Zimmerman Took a 105 MPH Liner to the Jaw

Detroit Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmermann left tonight’s start against the Cleveland Indians in the first inning after taking a Jason Kipnis liner to the jaw. He was initially diagnosed with only a contusion but is at a hospital for further evaluation.

Kipnis’ shot had an exit velocity of over 105 mph caromed all the way to first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who made the out.

Here’s hoping Zimmermann escaped serious injury.
