Home plate umpire Nick Mahrley was taken off the field on a gurney after being struck in the head by a broken bat Sunday during the fifth inning of the game between the host New York Yankees and Colorado Rockies.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton’s bat splintered just above his hands as he blooped a single into left field off Rockies pitcher Austin Gomber. The broken barrel of the bat struck Mahrley in his facemask, and the umpire collapsed to one knee. Medical personnel quickly rushed onto the field to attend to Mahrley. The 41-year-old appeared to be conscious as he spoke with medical staff behind home plate.
“Nick is being evaluated by the Yankees medical staff and is currently going through a full battery of tests,” a Major League Baseball official said. The umpire was diagnosed with a concussion and will have additional tests in the next few days, according to a source familiar with the situation, who added Mahrley won’t work for part of next week, at a minimum. The Rockies posted on X, “Sending our best to Umpire Nick Mahrley.
