Former New York Yankees infielder Tyler Austin, who plays in the Japanese Central League, got a freak injury while he was changing his jersey.
The Yokohama DeNA BayStars player hurt his head while he was making an outfit change, according to Yahoo Japan on Tuesday.
He was changing his shirt after he slid straight into home plate and was thrown out on the play. Austin was pulled in the seventh inning of the game.
Yokohama is in fourth place in the Central League this season, behind the Yomiuri Giants, Hiroshima Toyo Carp and Hanshin Tigers.
