Tigers Pitcher Tarik Pushal threw the course that hit Fry on his face while trying to base. He was shaken by the play.
“It’s really tough,” he told journalists on Tuesday night via mlb.com. “I’ve already reached him out. I’m sure his phone is blowing up. Just wanting to make sure he’s okay. It was clear that he looked like he was okay to get off the field and hopefully it stays like that. I sometimes know with these things they can change, so hopefully he’s fine.
“But I look forward to hopefully at some point tonight or tomorrow morning to get a text from him and make sure he is good because there are things bigger than the game and him are more important than a baseball game.”
