Twins’ Kyle Farmer hit in face by 92 mph fastball from Giolito -
The initial diagnosis was announced by the Twins as a jaw injury after the 92 mph pitch from Giolito ran inside and knocked Farmer to the dirt. Giolito appeared concerned as he raised his arms toward his head and walked forward from the mound.
Farmer laid face down for a few minutes as the Twins tended to him, before he climbed to his feet and walked slowly to the dugout with a towel pressed against his face and his head hunched down. Willi Castro entered as a pinch-runner for Farmer, who was acquired in offseason trade with Cincinnati. He has started seven of 12 games for the Twins, filling in at second base for Jorge Polanco and more recently at shortstop for Carlos Correa.
Polanco is on the injured list along with three other regulars: Joey Gallo, Max Kepler and Alex Kirilloff. Correa missed his fourth straight game on Wednesday. He could return to the lineup on Thursday.
