During the seventh inning of Friday's game, Henry was hit in the head with a bat during the follow-through of a Syracuse player's swing. He would leave the game right after on a stretcher and was taken to Upstate University Hospital for evaluation and treatment. The game would be called off following Henry's departure from the field.
Later that night, the Bisons announced that Payton was "alert and appropriately responsive," only a few hours after the incident.
Saturday's game between Buffalo and Syracuse is still set for 6:35 p.m. EST. start time at NBT Bank Stadium.
