A miscommunication in the outfield led to a scary collision Monday between Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill and third baseman Rafael Devers.
The incident happened in the seventh inning of Boston's home game against the Cleveland Guardians.
With Cleveland leading 2-0, Guardians outfielder Estevan Florial popped up to shallow left field. Three Red Sox defenders gave chase, and Devers and O'Neill both appeared to call for the ball. With both players looking up, Devers backpedaled into O'Neill as he made a play on the ball, and their heads collided.
Very bad outfield collision for the Red Sox, Tyler O'Neill appears to have gotten the worst of it pic.
