Overview
- Albernaz, hit in the fifth inning Monday by a 70.6 mph foul off Jeremiah Jackson, was checked by trainers and cleared concussion screening.
- Speaking Tuesday, the first-year manager said CT scans showed a broken jaw and at least seven cheek and orbital fractures, though doctors ruled out surgery and jaw wiring.
- He briefly returned to the dugout to hug Jackson after a sixth-inning grand slam, then left for scans as Baltimore rallied to a 9-7 win.
- Team officials said he remains with the club and plans to manage, with a soft or baby-food diet for about six weeks and ongoing medical monitoring.
- Bench coach Donnie Ecker handled postgame media and said Albernaz was doing good, and Jackson later apologized by gifting his signed grand-slam ball to his manager.
