Daniel Brito having a seizure:
Strange situation at the @RocRedWings game right now. First inning, Lehigh Valley third baseman Daniel Brito apparently had some type of seizure on the field. Currently laying on the grass being attended to by trainers. Game in delay, ambulance may be needed— Sal Maiorana ( @salmaiorana ) July 31, 2021

Holy crap, Brito is a really nice kid. I hope he is OK. Hate to ever see this.
Ortiz called up to Reading
Jhailyn Ortiz in CF and Grenny Cumana in LF. Listed weight difference between the two is 70 pounds, though I am guessing it is more than that. When has a CF outweighed a LF by that much?
Several times this year Aaron Judge has played CF.. listed as 282. While Miguel Andujar played left.. listed as 211.
We know Ortiz has been up to 260 when he was 16. Guessing the 215 he is listed at is when he got in shape after that, but he really looks more like 230-235 these days. He is in good shape now (good enough to fake CF), but he is still a pretty large guy to put there (balanced by the 5-5 Cumana).
If they collide in the OF, Cumana may end up in ICU
Tough to read this. My prayers go out to Daniel Brito and his family
Phillies have announced that Brito is currently undergoing surgery
Geez, talk about bad luck, the kid looked like he had finally turned the corner and the show was maybe only a year away, now he's dealing with a serious health issue and that dream at best is deferred.
Some details on Brito from the Rochester newspaper:
Hopefully they got to him in time.
Scary. My friend lost a son at 18 suddenly in similar circumstances (medically). Hope the young man is alright soon. He is just making progress on his dream of playing ML baseball, but more importantly he needs to be healthy.
I'm not a doctor or any kind of medical professional but the symptoms make me think he had a stroke.
Was it hot up there yesterday. Wonder if it was heat related.

I hope I am wrong but this really sounds pretty bad. Hope things are improving.
