26-year-old White Sox outfielder Jason Coats made his debut in June, but he's had a painful start to his career in the major leagues.

Coats left his very first game with the White Sox after colliding with teammate J.B. Shuck in the outfield, and on Saturday he botched a slide into third and took a faceful of dirt on his way into the base. Coats fortunately did less damage to his face than Buster Posey did a few weeks ago.
