Guardians’ David Fry Recovering After Scary HBP Incident

UPDATE: Cleveland Guardians’ David Fry is on the mend after a harrowing incident five days ago when he was struck in the face by a 99 mph fastball from Detroit’s Tarik Skubal. The 29-year-old designated hitter and catcher was seen walking and joking with teammates in the clubhouse just before the game against the Texas Rangers today, showing remarkable resilience after the traumatic event.

Fry suffered the injury while attempting to bunt, resulting in him collapsing in the batter’s box and immediately grabbing his bloodied face. “It could have been way worse,” Fry stated. “They just kept saying an inch up … an inch down, we could have had some real problems, but all in all, I feel great.” His face remains swollen, and he has stitches in his nose, but he is not expected to require surgery following a follow-up appointment on Thursday.

The incident occurred on July 11, 2023, during the sixth inning of the game against the Detroit Tigers. Fry was rushed to the hospital and spent the night there before being released the following day. His wife, Rebekah Fry, who is seven months pregnant, was understandably anxious while watching the event unfold from their home in Louisiana. “She had a feeling that things were going to be fine,” Fry shared, reflecting on the moment.

Fry’s daughter, Evelyn, celebrated her second birthday just days after the incident, with the Guardians holding an impromptu party that included players singing “Happy Birthday” and a special appearance by the cast of “Frozen.” “It’s been a tough week for the Fry family, and so what can we do to help bring some joy to their family right now?” said Guardians manager Stephen Vogt.

Despite the terrifying circumstances, Fry’s teammates have rallied around him, showcasing his importance to the team. Although he will not be part of the playoff roster, his presence in the clubhouse remains significant. “He’s such a big part of our team,” Vogt emphasized, highlighting Fry’s value both on and off the field.

The Guardians clinched a postseason spot with a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on July 15, 2023, marking a poignant moment for the team as they continue to support their injured teammate. As Fry recovers, he will undoubtedly be a source of inspiration and camaraderie for the Guardians as they head into the playoffs.

Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for more updates on Fry’s recovery and the Guardians’ playoff journey as the team gears up for the challenges ahead.
