Perdomo, who was located on first base at the time, was visibly affected and initially wrestled on the ground before being able to walk off the field unaided. He was under observation but did not show signs of a concussion or blackout, and tests indicated no serious injury. The team\u2019s manager, Torey Lovullo, described the incident as unprecedented and emphasized the relief upon seeing Perdomo walk off unassisted and respond appropriately afterward. Teammates expressed concern and relief, noting the scary nature of the hit and their hope for his quick recovery.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An Arizona Diamondbacks player dropped like a rock after being hit in the head with a line drive off the bat of a teammate.<\/p>\n<p>Shortstop Geraldo Perdomo was on first as second baseman Ketel Marte came to bat in the third inning of Arizona\u2019s 3-2 win over the Houston Astros, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/story\/_\/id\/49851417\/geraldo-perdomo-leaves-game-line-drive-strikes-helmet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ketel sent a 93 mph line drive screaming toward right field, but the ball hit Perdomo in the head as he darted toward second base.<\/p>\n<p>Manager Torey Lovullo said after the game that Perdomo was under observation but was not in any concussion protocol.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Arizona\u2019s Geraldo Perdomo was struck in the head by a 93 mph line drive off the bat of teammate Ketel Marte and was down a few minutes before walking off the field without assistance. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3ig1cNyrug\">pic.twitter.com\/3ig1cNyrug<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/brianmctaggart\/status\/2096674434694132054?\">September 6, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>After the ball hit Perdomo, he was writhing on the ground as players ran toward him.<\/p>\n<p>After a few minutes, Perdomo was able to get up and walk off the field without assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Lovullo said he had \u201cnever seen anything like\u201d the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ball had a little topspin on it, and he thought he could get under it and keep moving, but it just kept track of him and hit him,\u201d Lovullo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when you go out there and you see him lying on the ground, there\u2019s a lot of uncertainty for everybody, and then there\u2019s some fear, like is he going to be okay?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Perdomo did not black out, Lovullo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then he started to respond and talked about some of the pressure that he was feeling in his head, and he was responding and he was spot-on with all of his answers,\u201d Lovullo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo at that point, we all breathed a collective sigh of relief,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Perdomo was dizzy after he was hit, but tests for serious damage came back negative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKetel and I both came up here and saw him at the same time, and it was nice to see those two embrace and hug for a second,\u201d Lovullo said, adding that Marte had been worried after the ball he hit struck his teammate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was scary the way he went down,\u201d Arizona third baseman Nolan Arenado said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/geraldo-perdomo-exits-after-being-hit-on-helmet-by-line-drive\">MLB.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t like seeing that.
