San Diego Padres designated hitter Luis Arráez was carted off the field and taken to a local hospital on Sunday night after a scary collision at first base during their matchup with the Houston Astros.
Arráez ran directly into Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón while trying to make it to first after a sacrifice bunt. Arráez and Dubón collided hard and both immediately crumpled to the ground. Arráez rolled straight over to his left shoulder and he remained down completely motionless for quite some time while both Dubón and the Padres’ first base coach checked on him.
