Perdomo Struck in Helmet by 93 mph Line Drive and Exits Game

The Diamondbacks announced a head contusion and will monitor him into Monday to determine whether he needs the 7-day concussion injured list

Overview

  • The injury occurred in the third inning Sunday when Ketel Marte ripped a 93 mph line-drive single that struck shortstop Geraldo Perdomo on the side of his helmet as he tried to advance to second base.
  • Perdomo stayed down for several minutes, then sat up, spoke with trainers and walked off the field under his own power before being removed from the game.
  • Arizona formally diagnosed Perdomo with a head contusion and said team medical staff will monitor him through Monday to assess symptoms and next steps.
  • Manager Torey Lovullo said Perdomo has not entered concussion protocol and the club made immediate defensive changes with Ildemaro Vargas moving to shortstop and Tim Tawa entering the game.
  • Perdomo is a regular contributor this season and the team’s choice on the concussion injured list could directly affect the Diamondbacks’ tight wild-card standing, so his day-to-day status will shape short-term roster decisions.
