Todd Frazier leaves game with face injury after diving into stands

Playing third base in the majors can be incredibly dangerous. Third baseman not only have stand roughly 90 feet away from batters who routinely smash hard hit balls in their direction, but also occasionally sacrifice their bodies by going into the stands to try and make a great play.

Often times, fans don't necessarily think of these plays as dangerous, because the players come out of them mostly unscathed. But Chicago White Sox third baseman Todd Frazier gave us a scary reminder of the risks baseball players take every day.

In the fourth inning of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers, Frazier tracked a foul ball over near the stands, and dove into the first row of seats in order to try and make a play. Though it's unclear from the replays, Frazier appeared to hit his face on a seat during the dive.

The play looked scary in real-time, but was made worse after seeing Frazier's reaction. He immediately covered his face with his glove and ran to the White Sox dugout.

The moment was incredibly frightening, and clearly made an impact on those watching the game. White Sox play-by-play man Hawk Harrelson even announced that he was leaving the broadcast booth to go downstairs and check on Frazier. He turned things over to Steve Stone shortly after the play.

Hawk leaving the booth was a bizarre moment, especially because he's not a doctor or trainer and couldn't really help Frazier. Still, it shows the level of concern people had for Frazier after seeing the play.

Harrelson returned to the booth shortly after checking on Frazier, and while his assessment was ultimately positive, it was also pretty gruesome.

Hawk Harrelson said it appears Frazier's teeth went through his lip. "I'm no doctor, but it appears he'll be okay."

So, that's horrifying. We're not entirely sure how you can say a guy's teeth went through his lip and conclude "he'll be OK." As Hawk states, he's not a doctor, so we're not going to take his medical opinion too seriously.

After being checked out by the team, Frazier received mostly good news. He left the game with a lip laceration that required five stitches, but is considered day-to-day.

Given Frazier's reaction to the play moments after it happened, that news comes as a huge sigh of relief to anyone who saw it happen in real-time.
