On Sunday, Sept. 19, the Cubs rookie Tyler Colvin suffered from the most peculiar injury while playing against the Florida Marlins.
Welington Castillo, the catcher, came up to bat with a wooden bat. He swung with such power it broke the bat in two. While Colvin was rounding third base he looked back for no more than a few seconds. As he turned back around part of the broken bat came and struck him in the chest.
Fortunately, the bat did not stick in him and fell out immediately. Holding his chest, he ran through home and hurried over to his coach. The rookie was in the hospital for around three days. He suffered from a punctured lung and is sadly out for the rest of the season.
