Carlos Gómez: No Concussion After Taking 97-mph Fastball To The Skull

Carlos Gómez avoided serious injury yesterday as medical evaluations concluded the Brewers outfielder did not suffer a concussion after being drilled in the head by a 97-mph Noah Syndergaard fastball at Citi Field. He even had a friendly Twitter conversation about the incident:

The only injury Gómez attained was a helmet-shaped bruise along his cheek:

Gómez previously missed several weeks in 2010 after being hit in the head by a Brian Schlitter pitch.
