CHICAGO – Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu injured his face and knee after colliding hard with Kansas City third baseman Hunter Dozier on the first base line in the opener of a doubleheader Friday.
Shortly after both players left the game, the White Sox announced Abreu had suffered a facial contusion and laceration. The 2020 AL MVP also had a bruised left knee, but tests for a concussion were negative.
His status is day to day. The Royals said Dozier had a bruised quadricep and neck discomfort. He's also day-to-day. After popping up in the second inning, Dozier jogged out of the batter’s box with his head down.
