I never saw a game shortened due to "injury" before.
Laceration above left eye, never lost consciousness, and was talking and moving according to a tweet on the espn gamecast of the game

Hope Chappy is going to be ok.
Scary things can happen as a pitcher, no time to react.
Chapman was taken to Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center in Sun City, where tests indicated fractures above his left eye and nose.

That is scary giving the fact that he is throwing so fast. Wonder how fast the ball was traveling of the bat
ESPN reports he is having a metal plate inserted into his head. Doesn't sound good to me.

Aroldis Chapman will undergo surgery Thursday to repair fractures around his nose and left eye.
Chapman, who was also diagnosed with a mild concussion, will need 6-8 weeks of recovery time. And he won't necessarily be ready to pitch in major league games immediately after his rehab is through.
