SARASOTA, Fla. – I’m relieved to pass along news regarding the 3-year-old daughter of Orioles reliever Willie Eyre.

Reporters were told following today’s game that Eyre was pulled off the field during warmups and informed that Lily had fallen into a pool and was found by her mother. She apparently did not lose consciousness and was rushed to a local hospital, and X-rays taken on her lungs were negative.

Everything is fine, and she’s already back with her family.

Reporters were told following today’s game that Eyre was pulled off the field during warmups and informed that Lily had fallen into a pool and was found by her mother. She apparently did not lose consciousness and was rushed to a local hospital, and X-rays taken on her lungs were negative.

Everything is fine, and she’s already back with her family.

Manager Buck Showalter didn’t have a final update while addressing the media – a team spokesman passed it along later – and he was clearly shaken by the incident. It really hits close to home for any parent.

Fortunately, this story has a happy ending.
