SAN DIEGO — Padres second baseman Edgar Gonzalez remained hospitalized Sunday with dizziness after he was hit in the head by a 93 mph pitch from the Rockies’ Jason Hammel on Saturday night.
Gonzalez did not have a skull fracture or a concussion but complained of dizziness and ringing in his ears, San Diego manager Bud Black said.
“They might do the same tests again, sort of a follow-up just to make sure,” Black said. “There’s a lot of good signs.”
Also, the Padres acquired infielder Oscar Salazar from the Orioles for right-hander Cla Meredith.
