NEW YORK (AP) — Umpire Nick Mahrley will miss a second week after after sustaining a concussion.
The 41-year-old was injured while working the plate during an Aug. 25 game between Colorado and the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Mahrley was hit in the neck by Giancarlo Stanton’s shattered bat in the fifth inning. The barrel hit Mahrley on the left side of his mask, knocking it off.
After New York’s 10-3 win, Major League Baseball said Mahrley was diagnosed with a concussion. MLB said Tuesday he remains under evaluation and will be out through Sunday at least.
Mahrley made his major league debut on Aug. 3, 2017, and became a full-time member of the major league staff for the 2023 season.
