Anyone who ever wore braces will cringe to learn what happened to third baseman Pablo Sandoval when he was smoked in the mouth by a bad-hop grounder Wednesday.
“It implanted both of his lips into his braces,” manager Bruce Bochy said. Head trainer Dave Groeschner had to pull the braces and lips apart. Both lips were cut and a tooth chipped. Groeschner hoped to get Sandoval to a dentist Wednesday night or this morning. He will sit at least a couple of days. (emphasis mine)
