Ozzie Albies left Tuesday night’s game against the Dodgers in the 5th inning after fouling a ball off his left knee cap. It did not look good as Albies immediately dropped to the ground and was carried off the field by team trainers when he was unable to put any kind of substantial weight on the knee.
Here’s video of the freak injury:
As you can see in the video, the ball hit Albies just above his left knee cap — an area with zero padding to protect from an incoming baseball at high speed.
