SAN DIEGO (AP) -Padres catcher Michael Barrett returned to San Diego and was examined at Scripps Clinic on Thursday, a day after fouling a ball off his face at Colorado.
Barrett, who is believed to have a broken nose, was hospitalized overnight in Denver.
The Padres were off Thursday.
Barrett left Wednesday night’s game in the third inning after fouling a ball off his face.
Barrett remained on the ground near home plate for several minutes. He was attended to by trainers before walking to the clubhouse under his own power.
Manager Bud Black said Wednesday night that a trip to the disabled list for Barrett seemed likely.
Barrett missed 19 games in August 2007 with a concussion.
“With Michael’s history, doctors are going to be a little more sensitive to that,” Black said. “The doctors will monitor what is going on.”
