The Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki suffered a neck contusion when he was hit by a ball during warm ups between innings on Saturday night. The Angels catcher Suzuki left the game against the Toronto Blue Jays on when he was hit in the neck by a pitch from starter Michael Lorenzen by an errant throw prior to the start of the third inning.

It did not appear that Suzuki was wearing a throat guard at the time. Although the 38 year old veteran Suzuki was briefly unable to support himself down the dugout steps in the moments after he was removed from the game, the Angels announced later in the night that he was alert as he underwent further testing.
