DENVER—Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Ross Ohlendorf says he feels fine a day after being hit in the head by a line drive and expects to make his next start.
Ohlendorf says he anticipates being cleared to work out sometime Thursday. He says he feels a little sore.
Ohlendorf was hit on the right side of the face by Troy Tulowitzki’s line drive in the first inning Wednesday night at Colorado. He was checked at a local hospital and returned to Coors Field before the Pirates finished their 6-2 win over Colorado.
He says he slept well but was awakened throughout the night by a member of the Pirates’ training staff who checked on him.
Ohlendorf is scheduled to start Monday against the Cincinnati Reds.
