Max Amaya, president of the Los Santos Provincial Baseball League, reported that the condition of baseball player Yeison Austin, who suffered a head injury in a brawl, is stable. 'He is a bit drowsy, but he is clear, he is talking, he receives visits, and he is within the 48-hour period that specialists said we must wait to see how this evolves,' said Amaya. 'They have already done a couple of CAT scans on him to monitor his progress, I imagine it is due to the swelling, the blow, and the whole situation. Last night, yes, quickly, quickly, but I understand that yes, he has to undergo surgery,' expressed Amaya. Beyond the facts, Amaya made an emphatic call for calm and reflection within the baseball environment, highlighting the impact this type of situation generates in society. 'What matters most at this moment is the recovery of all the people who were injured, and we are asking both fanbases for cordura, some tolerance, and to be very careful on social media, because the idea is not for this to be seen as a regional issue, but rather as an issue of solidarity in the face of what happened,' stated the executive. 'Nobody endorses the bad things that are done, but we are asking the players to have more tolerance on the field, because what they do on the field is transmitted to the fans, to the families.'
