The Rays infielder was drilled in the ribs by an Aroldis Chapman fastball, which left a brutal welt, as you can see below.

That is just brutal, especially when you consider the pitch was likely traveling anywhere from 96 – 105 mph. Lindsey Adler of The Athletic really put things in perspective with this tweet.
