In this story:

In only his second game back from the injured list, Twins infielder Jose Miranda exited Sunday's contest against the White Sox after being struck in the head by a pitch.

Miranda was fortunately able to walk off the field under his own power after getting hit by the 95 MPH fastball. He missed nine games with a low back strain, earlier this month, but he is hitting .324 with nine home runs and 43 RBIs on the season.

The Twins later announced that he suffered a head contusion and that he passed the preliminary testing for a concussion.

This is a developing story. More information will be added as it becomes available.
