— -- ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Seattle Mariners star Robinson Cano was hit in the head by a stray ball while the Los Angeles Angels were warming up in between innings Saturday and left the game because of dizziness.

Cano was taken to the clubhouse after being struck by an errant infield throw as the Angels' infield loosened up before the seventh inning.

He had a sizable welt near his left temple, and the Mariners' medical staff checked the second baseman for a concussion.

The Tacoma News Tribune reported Cano was cleared but has a deep bruise and is considered day-to-day, according to the team. 

Willie Bloomquist replaced Cano at second for the Mariners, who went on to lose 4-2.
