AP: Mets’ Church taken to hospital with another concussion

While trying to break up a game-ending double play, Ryan Church of the New York Mets sustained a mild concussion when his head banged into the right knee of Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar on Tuesday night.

Church had a red scrape on the right side of his forehead, and the Mets said he would be taken to Piedmont Hospital for a precautionary examination since he sustained a concussion in spring training. The right fielder was not available for comment.

Escobar was helped off the field and had a large wrap on his knee in the clubhouse. He shooed away reporters, only saying, “No DL.”

Church was sprawled face down in the dirt for several minutes, but he never lost consciousness. He finally rolled over and walked slowly to the Mets clubhouse.

This was his second concussion of the year. During spring training, he went down in a collision with teammates Marlon Anderson while chasing Andruw Jones’ popup in a game against the Dodgers.
