Sterling was broadcasting the game from the booth when he was hit by a foul ball off the bat of Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner. The ball struck Sterling on the side of the head, causing him to bleed. Sterling was immediately attended to by the Yankees medical staff and was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. He was released from the hospital later that evening. Despite being hit by the ball, Sterling was able to continue broadcasting the game.
