Boston, MA - Yankees catcher Jorge Posada was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for a precautionary head examination following the Red Sox 10-1 win over New York at Fenway Park on Saturday.
Posada appeared to be shaken up when Boston's Eric Hinske collided with him in the bottom of the sixth inning.
On the play, Yanks second baseman Robinson Cano fielded Dustin Pedroia's grounder and threw to the plate. Posada was able to block the plate and tag Hinske, but was knocked to the ground as Hinske barreled over him.
After shaking off the cobwebs for several minutes, Posada remained in the game.
'Jorge is a little beat up,' said Yankees manager Joe Torre. 'He's got a headache pretty good and it rung his bell pretty well.'
