\n Masahiro Tanaka sounded pretty sure he will wear a protective insert in his hat Saturday night when he makes his first start of the season against the Red Sox.<\/p>\n

And he was adamant that he won\u2019t be spooked by the memory of getting hit in the head on July 4 by a Giancarlo Stanton liner that was clocked at 112 mph and left him with a concussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I went on the mound at Scranton I didn\u2019t think of it at all,\u2019\u2019 Tanaka said on a Zoom call Friday afternoon before the Yankees\u2019 5-1 win over the Red Sox. He faced hitters at the Yankees\u2019 alternate site earlier this week. \u201cThat said, I think I should be fine.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n

As for the insert that will be worn on right side of his hat in the area where the ball struck him and sent him to the dirt, Tanaka said it was suggested by the medical staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I will wear that in the game<\/a> [Saturday]. I didn\u2019t know about it. It was the trainers who recommended and wanted to know if I wanted to try this on,\u201d Tanaka said. \u201cI was on board with that and I did try it on. It actually turned out it didn\u2019t bother me at all. You kind of forget that it is even in there. So that is when I felt this might work and also it gives me peace of mind, obviously and it will protect me in a sense, too. That is why I most likely use that in [Saturday\u2019s] game.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked how deep he could go against the Red Sox, Tanaka said until he is removed from the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not sure how many pitches I will be given. I guess we will see. Just compete on the mound until [Boone] takes the ball away from me,\u2019\u2019 Tanaka said.<\/p>\n

In addition to missing time due to the concussion, Tanaka has been faced with the challenges of working around the hurdles that COVID-19 has presented.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the situation we are in it is challenging but every single player is in the same situation,\u2019\u2019 Tanaka said. \u201cSo there is really no excuse for that. My mindset for that is just to go out there and compete and be the best version that I can.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

With COVID-19 hitting the Marlins hard and forcing them and the Phillies to pause their seasons and the Cardinals-Brewers game Friday night to be postponed, Tanaka addressed the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like this was almost expected. In that sense I am not overly shocked or overly worried but obviously it is a concern that this is happ<\/a>ening,\u2019\u2019 Tanaka said. \u201cI think it is kind of a reminder that we really need to be responsible in the action and behavior we take.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
