In a statement released by the Dodgers, Scully said, "I won't be doing anymore headfirst sliding. I never liked it."
On Saturday, Scully tweeted his "sincerest thanks to the LA County Firemen and women who come to the rescue and always seem to be there when we need and to the excellent administration, doctors and nurses of Los Robles Hospital."
He also said on Twitter, "I am so eternally grateful for their help and selfless service. I'm home resting comfortably with my wife and we are both eagerly awaiting the Time for Dodger Baseball!"
Scully spent 67 seasons as the Dodgers' broadcaster, retiring after the 2016 season.
