A's pitcher Chris Bassitt carted off field after being hit in the head by a line drive

Oakland A’s pitcher Chris Bassitt was carted off the field Tuesday after he was struck in the head by a line drive.

In an initial update, the A’s said the 32-year-old starter was “conscious and aware” while being taken to a hospital. The incident occurred during the second inning of a game against the White Sox at Chicago’s Guaranteed Rate Field.

Following the game, a 9-0 White Sox win, A’s Manager Bob Melvin provided a statement in which he said the team did not think Bassitt suffered a major eye injury as the ball may have struck the pitcher further down his face.

“He’s got some cuts. They had to do some stitches,” Melvin said. “He’s in a scan and we’ll know more about potential fractures or whatever tomorrow, or later tonight.”

Bassitt was hit on the right side of his head after throwing a fastball on a 1-1 count to Chicago’s Brian Goodwin, who drove it back up the middle. Bassitt immediately fell to the ground and put his hands to his face as medical staffers came out to the mound to attend to him. Players for both sides showed their concern.

California dad who killed his children in Mexico said he was 'enlightened' by QAnon and 'serpent DNA

OS ANGELES (KSWB) – A Santa Barbara, California, father confessed to killing his two young children whose bodies were found earlier this week in Rosarito, Mexico, according to a federal criminal complaint filed Wednesday.

Matthew Taylor Coleman, 40, was charged with foreign murder Wednesday, two days after FBI agents took him into custody at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

An affidavit by an FBI special agent revealed disturbing details in the investigation.

In an interview, Coleman confessed to the murders of his 2-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter, saying he was “enlightened” by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories, the complaint alleges. He said he was “receiving visions and signs revealing that his wife … possessed serpent DNA and had passed it onto his children” and “that he was saving the world from monsters,” the complaint shows.

The summary of probable cause within the complaint alleges Coleman “murdered his children by shooting a spear fishing gun into their chests.”
