Marlins’ Dan Jennings out of hospital after being hit in head by liner
Miami left-hander Dan Jennings was released from a Pittsburgh hospital Friday, a day after he was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of the Pirates’ Jordy Mercer. Jennings was put on the seven-day concussion list and was to fly back to Florida later Friday. “The good news is he was cleared to fly home,” Marlins Manager Mike Redmond said. “That tells you a lot about how he’s doing.”
