"Checking in — Monday, I took a 95 MPH line drive to my head," Wingert tweeted on Wednesday, along with a picture of the many stitches holding the center of her forehead together.The @Rockies & @ATTSportsNetRM have treated me like family. Getting me treatment & to the best hospital ASAP. I was at hospital for 5 hours w/ David Woodman , his wife, Paula & my producer Alison Vigil. pic.twitter.
"I had a CT scan to make sure there was no internal bleeding or fractures and all came back clear," she wrote in a story posted to Instagram."Thank God. I received internal and external stitches because of how deep the wound is."In 2018, she endured a fractured eye socket after being hit by a line drive while working for the Atlanta Braves.
She recovered from the first injury, and she appears to be in good spirits while recovering from the latest one.Wingert hopes the scar will not be too severe, as she said she is preparing to get married next month.
