MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 Detroit Tigers center fielder Parker Meadows was sent to a hospital for overnight observation after he collided head-to-head with teammate Riley Greene as they converged for a fly ball on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Greene made the catch, and Meadows landed on his back in a daze, barely moving with his hands pointed up and blood appearing on his face. After a few minutes, Meadows was able to sit up. Medical personnel slowly helped him stand and move toward a cart that was waiting to take him away.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a terrible feeling. I still feel terrible,\u201d Greene said after the game against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. \u201cHe hit my head. I don\u2019t know where I hit him, to be honest, but I just really hope he\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meadows had a concussion, manager A.J. Hinch said after the Tigers lost 3-1 to the Twins and were swept in the four-game series. The collision caused Meadows to bite the inside of his mouth, which led to the bleeding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to get him checked out for everything, but this one worries me,\u201d Hinch said.<\/p>\n

Josh Bell led off the eighth inning for Minnesota with a shallow fly to left-center that Greene appeared to be calling for as he and Meadows ran toward the ball. Meadows tried slowing up and backing off at the last second. But his face appeared to slam against Greene\u2019s head, sending both players tumbling to the grass.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a perfect tweener, and you have two guys who like to go and get it,\u201d catcher Jake Rogers said. \u201cIt\u2019s a scary thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meadows has started 11 of 13 games in center field for the Tigers this season. Matt Vierling made the other two starts. Meadows went 0 for 3 on Thursday and is batting .250 with two extra-base hits.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Meadows, who was a second-round draft pick by the Tigers in 2018, made his major league debut in 2023.\"\"<\/p>\n
