Guardians designated hitter David Fry was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday night … after he was nailed in the face by a nearly 100 MPH fastball.

The scary scene all unfolded in the sixth inning of Cleveland’s crucial matchup with Detroit at Progressive Field.

Fry squared around to bunt on a 2-1 count … but Tarik Skubal‘s heater got away from him, and instead of hitting the catcher’s mitt, the 99.6 MPH pitch ended up right in Fry’s nose.

Fry — noticeably bleeding — stayed down in the dirt for a while as trainers tended to him. He was eventually put on a cart … and then taken to a nearby medical facility.

While he did give a thumbs up as he exited the field, there hasn’t been much of an update on his condition … other than he was expected to remain under doctors’ watch overnight.

Guards manager Stephen Vogt said following the game — which the Guardians came back to win, 5-2 — there’s “definitely some injuries there” and the whole team is “thinking about David and his family right now.”

“Obviously,” he added, “we’re glad he is OK, but obviously it’s a really scary moment.”
