MLB pitcher Erik Swanson will be away from the team “for a while” following his four-year-old son’s hospitalization after he was struck by a car in Florida near the team’s spring training complex.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced that Swanson’s son Toby was hit by a car on Sunday in Clearwater, Florida, the New York Post reported.
“Thanks to the incredible work from the Clearwater first responders, Toby is on the road to recovery and is surrounded by his family,” Schneider said, before he said that the Blue Jays pitcher will be away from the team “for a while.”
“The guys have been phenomenal so far,” Schneider added, of his team’s support for Swanson and family. “And you can’t forget about players wives and significant others who have reached out. It’s been a rough couple of days but it’s nice to see the support.”
