Marlins' Yuli Gurriel scratched vs. Red Sox after taking grounder to face

BOSTON -- Miami Marlins first baseman Yuli Gurriel was scratched from Thursday night's 2-0 win against the Red Sox after being hit in the face with a ball during batting practice.

Gurriel was taking grounders at first base when he went down. People rushed out to help him, and he was escorted off the field with a towel covering his face.

Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Gurriel didn't have any broken bones and that he'll be day-to-day.

Luis Arraez moved over to first base, and Jean Segura took Gurriel's No. 5 spot in the batting order.
