Tyler Zombro, the Tampa Bay Rays Minor Leaguer, who was struck in the head by a comebacker to the mound last June, plans to resume his pitching career.

Zombro told the Tampa Bay Times that he had a follow-up CT scan on his head in December, and it showed that the fractures he suffered had healed. He plans to report to Minor League spring training.

"They said, 'You're good to go,'" Zombro said. "So I've booked my housing for spring (training), and I'll be there."

Pitching for Tampa Bay's Triple-A affiliate in Durham, the right-handed reliever was struck by a 104 mph line drive up the middle. The ball hit him on the right side of the head, just above the ear, and he was unconscious before he hit the ground.

Zombro was rushed to Duke University Hospital, where doctors installed 16 plates and 32 screws into his head. He remained hospitalized for about a week before being discharged.
