Minnesota Twins shortstop Kyle Farmer left Wednesday’s game against the Chicago White Sox after getting hit in the face by a Lucas Giolito fastball.
The Twins called it a jaw injury.
Farmer walked off under his own power with a towel covering the side of his head.
Farmer was hit with a 91-mph fastball on an 0-1 pitch just below the helmet flap in the bottom of the fourth inning. He was replaced by Willi Castro, who pinch ran for Farmer and replaced him at short.
Farmer, 32, was 0-for-1 before leaving. He is batting .226 with one home run and five RBIs in 11 games this season, his first with the Twins after the past four seasons in Cincinnati.
