LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are holding out All-Star Willson Contreras in Saturday night’s game at the Los Angeles Dodgers as he undergoes concussion testing.

Contreras was hit by a pitch on the side of the helmet in the third inning of the Red Sox’s 9-4 victory over the Dodgers on Friday night. He left the game.

Contreras was struck by a 95-mph fastball from reliever Will Klein. The first baseman was checked on by the medical staff before taking first base. He had already hit the dirt after Klein’s first pitch of the at-bat.
