Jerry Layne was hit in the face with a broken bat on Friday evening. He was removed from the game and sat out the last two games of the Cincinnati/Minnesota series.
He returned to work for the St.Louis/Miami series with a bruised face. His face is still sensitive according to MLB Director of Umpires, Randy Marsh.
Layne started the series as the thirdbase umpire to allow him three more days to heal. With the normal umpire rotation, he will not have to be behind the plate until Thursday.
