MLB umpire Larry Vanover has been released from a hospital after spending a couple of nights there following a throw to his head.
In a game Wednesday, New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka launched a double off the center field wall that scored a run. Oswaldo Cabrera rounded third, so the Guardians tried for a relay throw home.
Infielder Andres Gimenez's throw hit Vanover in the head from close range.
Vanover fell to the grass and stood up just a few seconds later. He walked off the field on his own alongside a trainer shortly after. The throw was clocked at 89 mph.
The 67-year-old will sit out until he is cleared by MLB's medical staff.
