Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero was forced to exit Tuesday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians after a foul tip struck him in the face.
Caminero was making his first at-bat in the game when he fouled a pitch from Guardians pitcher Tanner Bibee off the plate. The ball bounced off the plate and hit him in the right jaw. He immediately fell to the ground.

Tampa Bay’s trainer came out of the dugout to tend to Caminero, who was down for a couple of minutes. He was examined for a few moments before he finished the at-bat. He eventually grounded out to Bibee and was replaced by Ben Williamson.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Caminero was doing “OK” after the game.
“He’s in really good spirits and I would expect him to be in the lineup tomorrow,” Cash said, via MLB.com. “That ball really came off the plate hard and I’m just glad that he’s in a pretty good spot right now.”
Tampa Bay won the game, 1-0.
Caminero has been among the bright spots in the Rays’ lineup so far this season. The one-time All-Star is hitting .257 with eight home runs in 29 games.
