Alex Cobb hit in head by hard line drive, leaves game on stretcher

In the top of the fifth inning in Tampa Bay, Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer hit an absolute rocket of a line drive right back at the pitcher's mound. And unfortunately, it hit Rays starter Alex Cobb quare in the head. It appeared to get him above the right ear.
The ball ricocheted off Cobb's head all the way back to the home-plate area, so it was by no means a glancing blow. It was ugly.

The Rays said Cobb remained conscious all the way to the hospital and has only a mild concussion, which is pretty surprising given how hard it hit him.
Note just how hard it was hit, via Baseball Tonight's Jonah Keri:
Cobb immediately fell to the ground and was nearly motionless, save for some leg movement. Doctors and athletic trainers immediately signaled for the stretcher and Cobb was taken to the hospital.
Considering how violent the play looked, Cobb is mighty fortunate to have escaped with a mild concussion. He will remain in the hospital overnight for observation, but as things currently stand, it appears it's pretty good news.
