Phillies' Cameron Rupp: Hit in head by fastball, exits Saturday's game

Rupp left Saturday's game in the top of the third inning after getting hit in the side of the head by a fastball from Tyler Glasnow.

It was a scary moment, as Rupp couldn't get out of the way and the pitch hit him square in the part of his helmet that was covering his left ear. He'll now go through the concussion protocol, and it would not be surprising to see him land on the 7-day concussion DL in the coming days. Carlos Ruiz figures to start behind the dish Sunday, and the Phillies may have to call up a catcher from the minors if Rupp ends up needing to miss a week or more.
