Martinez has a concussion but otherwise seems fine
I stopped by the hospital and ran into Giants executive Bobby Evans, who reported that pitcher Joe Martinez, struck in the head by a Mike Cameron line drive in today's game, has a concussion but otherwise seems to be OK.
Evans did not want to get too specific medically, but said Martinez did not appear to have any broken bones, and tests did not reveal any serious injuries. But they are keeping the 26-year-old right-hander in the hospital overnight for observation. You can't be too careful with head injuries.
Evans said Martinez was up and talking and did not even seem to have a bad headache. Martinez spoke by phone with his parents in New Jersey, who unfortunately watched on TV as their son got hit.
