Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger suffered a mouth contusion in Saturday's game against the New York Mets after he was struck in the face by a 95 mph fastball from Mets ace Jacob deGrom in the second inning. Haniger left the field under his own power.

Haniger will need some time to heal and is likely headed to the disabled list, Mariners manager Scott Servais said.

"Obviously, when something like that happens, it's scary," Servais said. "He's got no fractures, his teeth are OK, and he's got a pretty severe laceration on his upper lip. He's getting some work done on that now. It could have been a lot worse.''
