Tejada's bat shattered on the swing, with the barrel coming around to hit Ramos on the left side of his head, leaving him bloodied. Ramos was promptly removed from the game following a visit from the training staff and received six staples in his head in order to close the gash.
The 29-year-old was appearing in just his 16th game of the season after missing the first two-and-a-half months due to knee surgery.
