Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was injured in a collision with the outfield wall in Los Angeles on Monday night.
Harper received 11 stitches in his chin and jammed his shoulder, but didn't sustain a concussion after slamming into the wall in right field.
He left the game in the fifth inning.
Harper hit the scoreboard wall face-first while tracking a ball hit by A.J. Ellis over his left shoulder. He never looked at the wall before hitting it. The impact sent Harper's cap flying as he bounced off the wall and crumpled to the ground.
"As the ball kept going, I was like, 'Is he going to stop?'" center fielder Denard Span said. "He looked like he didn't get a good jump at all, like he was surprised the ball was hit to him. I thought he was going to jump and brace himself. As soon as he ran into it, his body locked up."
