Marlins tease Dietrich by giving him hard hat
A day after Derek Dietrich was hit in the back of the head by a line drive while sitting in the team's dugout, the Miami Marlins had a little fun at the expense of the utility player by getting him a new lid to avoid future accidents.

Although Sunday's incident looked scary at first, Dietrich was attended to by emergency medical staff and X-rays on his noggin came back negative.
The 26-year-old was also cleared of any concussion symptoms and is available to play, but wasn't in the team's starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.
