As Alec Bohm's walk-up music rang through Citizens Bank Park, catcher Patrick Bailey motioned to the Giants dugout. He requested the training staff and appeared to tell them, I'm dizzy.
Nothing immediately preceding Bailey's exit suggested a concussion or any other injury. The previous inning, he was struck in the face mask by a foul ball off Bohm's bat.
In 24 games, Bailey had been 31% better than the ballpark-adjusted league-average hitter, with a .279/.337/.45 batting line equaled a .793 OPS, second only to LaMonte Wade Jr. among Giants hitters.
If Bailey is forced to miss time, the Giants no longer have Joey Bart at Triple-A Sacramento to call up in his place. Blake Sabol is the only other catcher on the Giants' 40-man roster.
