HOUSTON (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Jose Herrera left Friday night against the Houston Astros after Kyle Tucker struck him on top of the head on a follow-through in the fifth inning.

Tucker struck out swinging, with his bat hitting Herrera on the top of his helmet. Herrera crumpled to the ground, and manager Torey Lovullo and a trainer immediately raced to the plate.

Tucker — pressed into extensive playing time with starter Gabriel Moreno sidelined by a groin injury — got to a sitting position after a couple of minutes on the ground and Lovullo supported his back while the trainer spoke to him for a while.
