Contreras hit in helmet by pitch, stays in game

Willson Contreras was struck in the side of the helmet by a Will Klein pitch in the third inning Friday night at Dodger Stadium. He came out briefly but returned to first base under his own power. While he remained in the game, a hit-by-pitch to the helmet warrants monitoring for any delayed concussion protocol action. No IL move or official injury designation was reported.
