He leaves covering his bloody nose with a towel. Very scary incident. #BlueJays
Ernie Clement walked to the visitors' clubhouse with a Blue Jays team trainer after being hit by a pitch in the face here in Lakeland. Will update more when we know more.
The Blue Jays announced on social media that Clement has a lip laceration and contusion which hopefully means it was only a bad cut and there was no more severe injury involved.
