Rangers Yu Darvish took a liner off his forehead in outfield during BP. He resumed playing catch. He will get checked by doctor.
— Anthony Andro (@aandro) July 8, 2014 The ball, which was hit by outfielder Leonys Martin, glanced off the forehead of Darvish, who briefly kneeled down before refusing medical assistance, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. Derek Holland attempted to catch the line drive but missed, though the ball made contact with his glove prior to hitting Darvish, who reportedly wasn't too fazed by the accident.
Darvish is tough. I would have been crying. He continues to throw.
