Pillar took to Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/KPILLAR4/status/1616480015004340230" rel="noopener">to express his excitement</a> about joining the Braves on Friday.</p><p>“Beyond excited to be joining the @Braves can’t wait to join such a historic franchise and help these guys get back on top!”</p><p>If Pillar makes the big league club out of Spring Training, he will provide outstanding defensive prowess to go along with decent offensive potential.</p><p>For his career, Kevin Pillar owns a .259/.296/.408 slash line with a .704 OPS. He played in just 4 games for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022. His last full big league season came in 2021 with the New York Mets, when he hit just .231 but offered a steady defensive effort.</p><p>The Braves added Kevin Pillar to provide outfield depth. He isn’t a player who will make or break their season, but could play an impactful role down the road.</p><p>Atlanta could still look to acquire OF Bryan Reynolds from the Pittsburgh Pirates via trade, but the odds of that occurring <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-braves-trading-for-bryan-reynolds-unlikely" rel="noopener">are fairly slim</a>. Pillar’s chances of making the roster would diminish if Reynolds was acquired by Atlanta. Their current outfield consists of Ronald Acuna Jr, Michael Harris, and Eddie Rosario. Marcell Ozuna will assume DH duties but can still play outfield if needed.</p><p>Jordan Luplow is also a depth candidate for Atlanta.</p><p>In the end, Kevin Pillar is still a solid player. Even if he struggles the plate, he will profile as a quality late-game defensive replacement for the Braves.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Tests revealed that Pillar had suffered a fractured shoulder after sustaining the injury while sliding into third base shortly after clubbing a double.

It was a painful-looking injury and the MRI results indicated that he suffered a fracture in his left shoulder.</p><p>Pillar had played in just four games for the <a href="http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/9WqZkW" rel="noopener">Dodgers</a> this season after signing on during the offseason. A native of West Hills, California, he had been given the opportunity to play for his hometown team, but unfortunately, his season will come to an abrupt end following the serious shoulder injury.</p><p>The 33-year-old joined the <a href="http://foco.vegb.net/P0ngxz" rel="noopener">Dodgers</a> on a one-year deal during the MLB offseason. He spent the 2021 season with the New York Mets, where he featured in 124 games, slashing .231/.277/.415 with 15 home runs and 47 RBI. Pillar didn’t see that type of playing opportunity on the loaded Dodgers, however, and now he’s set to be shelved for the remainder of the year.</p><p>After starting his career with the Blue Jays and playing his first seven MLB seasons in Toronto, Pillar has played for five different teams since leaving the Jays in 2019 via a trade with the San Francisco Giants. In 2020, Pillar had brief stints with the Rockies and Red Sox before heading to Queens in 2021.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was a gruesome scene as Pillar was left bloodied from the pitch.</p><p>Here’s the play:</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Luckily, Pillar seems to be doing okay.

He went to a local hospital for a CT scan. Webb was removed from the game after hitting Pillar.</p><p>Mets manager Luis Rojas praised Pillar’s toughness after the game, <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31462397/depleted-new-york-mets-place-michael-conforto-jeff-mcneil-il-hamstring-injuries" rel="noopener">via ESPN:</a></p><blockquote>“This guy is a warrior,” Rojas said. “He shows up every day to play hard, and you saw him. He got up on his feet and left. There’s no chance I thought he was going to be able to do that after I saw where the ball hit him in the face. He got up and he left. That’s at least one positive to see.”</blockquote><p>The hit-by-pitch came with the bases loaded and gave the Mets a 2-0 lead. They ultimately took home a 3-1 victory, hence the hashtags by Pillar in his tweet.</p><p>The 32-year-old outfielder is hitting .250 on the season with two home runs and eight RBI. New York moved to 19-16 on the season, which is first in the NL East.</p><p>Let’s hope Kevin Pillar gets back on the field soon after this terrifying moment at Truist Park.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
