Los Angeles Dodgers fans most likely were all holding their collective breath when they saw their star outfielder, Yasiel Puig laying almost motionless on the turf after taking this vicious elbow from Dodgers second baseman Howie Kendrick while trying to make a play on a pop-up:
Luckily, Puig would be fine, as told by Dodgers reporter Alanna Rizzo:
Puig hit in throat/neck area and taken out as a precaution. He’s fine.

I’m not sure why no one screamed out “I GOT IT”, I mean, you learn that in little league and it would’ve saved Puig a most certain headache. He’s only the most exciting player on your uber-expensive team.
But hey, that’s what spring training is for.
