San Diego catcher Freddy Fermin left the Padres' Wednesday game against the visiting Seattle Mariners in the top of the third inning after taking a second foul ball off his mask.
'Took him back, tested him, no concussion stuff going on, but just a head contusion,' San Diego manager Craig Stammen said postgame. 'It just feels like he got hit in the head. Luckily it's not a concussion at this point. All the tests came back negative.'
After getting struck with a foul ball in the second inning, Fermin was hit directly between the eyes when Brendan Donovan, leading off the Seattle third, fouled off a 1-1 pitch from Randy Vasquez.
Fermin went to his knees after getting hit. After the team's training staff and Stammen came out to consult with Fermin, the catcher walked off the field.
Luis Campusano replaced Fermin, who hadn't batted in the first two innings. Fermin is hitting .161 with no homers and two RBIs in 15 games.
At the time of Fermin's departure, Seattle led 2-0. The Mariners were up by four before the Padres scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 7-6 victory.
