TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Former Yankees manager Stump Merrill was back at the ballpark Thursday, one day after being hit just above the lip by a thrown ball during batting practice before a game against Tampa Bay.
Merrill, a special assistant to the general manager, was released from a hospital late Wednesday after undergoing a CT scan, which was negative. He had a root canal Thursday.
“I feel pretty good, all things considered,” Merrill said Thursday.
Merrill said his biggest concern after getting hit was the fact he is on a blood thinner.
“I knew immediately when I got hit, what it was,” Merrill said. “I was worried because I am on a blood thinner, that scared me some. Other than that I was fine.”
Merrill was collecting balls near a screen behind second base when he was struck by a ball thrown from the outfield. He was taken off the field on a stretcher.
