The Los Angeles Angels' ugly week continued with a scary scene on Saturday against the New York Mets.
Angels rookie pitcher Chase Silseth exited the game in the fourth inning with an apparent head injury after a throw from first baseman Trey Cabbage to third base hit him directly in the back of the head. The ball ricocheted toward the third base dugout and allowed Francisco Lindor to score after a Mets baserunning error forced him to break for third.
Silseth took several steps after the impact before falling forward to the ground. He didn't appear to lose consciousness, but was in clear pain as his teammates and Angels trainers checked on him.
Silseth exited the game with three strikeouts, two walks, two hits and two earned runs in 3 1/3 innings of work.
Angels sideline reporter Erica Weston reported after the game, a 5-3 Angels win, Silseth had been taken to the hospital to undergo testing, but was alert and speaking, even cracking a joke about covering the right base.
The 23-year-old Silseth was the Angels' 11th-round pick out of Arizona in the 2021 MLB Draft. He moved quickly through the minors, making his MLB debut last season while posting a 2.28 ERA in 83 innings with Double-A Rocket City.
Silseth, who retained rookie eligibility after 2022, entered Saturday's start with a career 5.01 ERA, a 1.398 WHIP and 74 strikeouts in 73 2/3 innings. He has started in 13 of his 21 MLB appearances.
A brutal injury for a rookie would maintain the theme of the Angels' week, which had already seen Shohei Ohtani tear his UCL and Mike Trout return to the injured list. The team's record was 62-67 entering Saturday, a full 10 games out of the third and final AL wild-card spot.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
