Baltimore Orioles manager<\/a> Craig Albernaz was involved in a terrifying moment during the team\u2019s victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Albernaz was struck by a line drive off the bat of Orioles second baseman Jeremiah Jackson in the fifth inning. The ball hit the manager\u2019s left cheek and he left to be looked at by the team\u2019s medical staff.<\/p>\n

Albernaz briefly returned to the game after Jackson hit a grand slam to help the Orioles to the 9-7 win.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s doing good. Just as a precaution, he\u2019s going to get it scanned,” Orioles bench coach Donnie Ecker said.<\/p>\n

Jackson said he had a sunken feeling when he saw Albernaz in pain after the errant liner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I hit and then I kind of saw Alby holding his face. My heart kind of dropped,” Jackson said. “I was able to see him afterward and see he was doing OK.”<\/p>\n

“Knowing he was OK helped. It made me feel a little bit better,” Jackson added. “I\u2019m just happy he\u2019s doing OK and in good spirits.”<\/p>\n

Albernaz and Jackson embraced after the infielder hit the big home run in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

“That was awesome,” Jackson said of the impromptu embrace from his manager. “You never want to hurt anybody, and Alby\u2019s awesome. It sucked. But he wore it well and he\u2019s in good spirits so it made me feel better.”<\/p>\n

Albernaz is in his first year as Baltimore\u2019s manager. He served as a bench coach and assistant manager for the Cleveland Guardians in 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n

Baltimore improved to 9-7 with the win and are tied with the New York Yankees<\/a> for first place in the American League East.<\/p>\n
