On Saturday, Seattle Mariners star Robinson Cano was forced out of the game after getting beaned by a wild throw from Los Angeles Angels infielder Taylor Featherston -- while resting in the M's dugout.
Cano, who was hit in the head by Featherston's errant throw during warm-ups, had a pretty sizable bump on his head as a result (as seen above). However, Cano made light of the incident on Sunday, donning a catcher's mask in the dugout prior to the series finale:
