Guillorme Hit by Pitch in the Helmet

Mets infielder Luis Guillorme was hit by a pitch in the helmet in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez threw a 95-mph fastball that hit Guillorme on the left side of the helmet.

Guillorme immediately went to the ground and was attended to by Mets trainers and medical staff. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but was removed from the game.

Guillorme Undergoing Tests

The Mets announced that Guillorme will undergo a CT scan, concussion test, and X-rays on his jaw. The CT scan and concussion test will help determine the extent of any head or brain injury, while the X-rays will check for any fractures or damage to his jaw.

The Mets are expected to provide an update on Guillorme's condition later on Sunday.

Guillorme's Injury a Concern for Mets

Guillorme has been a valuable player for the Mets this season, starting 48 games at shortstop and second base. He is a versatile infielder who can also play third base and has a strong bat at the plate.

If Guillorme is forced to miss any time, it would be a big blow to the Mets, who are already dealing with injuries to several other key players, including Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, and Starling Marte.
