Not good.
Roy Oswalt was just hit in the head with a line drive off the bat of Manny Ramirez. He was able to get up and walk off the field on his own.
According to the beat reporters, the ball hit him just behind right ear. He is being taken to a local hospital for X-rays. The official diagnosis from the Phillies is "bruised neck."
UPDATE: X-rays were negative and Brian Schneider will be driving Oswalt back to Clearwater.
