Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brandon Lockridge slammed his legs into the concrete base of a wall pursuing a foul pop fly, and was taken from the field by cart Friday, May 8 at American Family Field.
Lockridge was chasing a foul ball hit by the New York Yankees’ Cody Bellinger in the top of the fourth inning when he went into a slide and slammed into a wall that was unpadded at the base. He winced in pain and tumbled face down on the foul line for several moments.
He was eventually helped to his feet, yet needed the assistant of a cart to exit the field. Garrett Mitchell replaced Lockridge, who had an RBI single earlier, in the outfield.
The Brewers were leading the game 5-0 when Lockridge, 29, was hurt. He’s batting .294 with a .709 OPS in 85 at-bats this season.
