The Kansas City Royals announced the results of tests taken overnight after the team’s second baseman Omar Infante was hit in the face by a pitch from Tampa Bay reliever Heath Bell.

Overnight tests revealed Infante suffered “a non-concussive head injury.” Infante, 32, was diagnosed at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

He also had incurred a sprain of his right jaw and a laceration that required six stitches due to the impact of the pitch.

The immediate plan is to evaluate him over the next 48 hours, though based on the Kansas City medical team’s initial diagnosis it does not appear he’ll miss a significant amount of time. There is no determination at this time as to whether this will necessitate a stint on the disabled list.
