OAKLAND — For most players, a major league debut is a special day that they will always remember. Dustin Fowler would like to forget about his.
Fowler made his debut on June 29 as the starting right fielder for the New York Yankees, a dream come true for the 22-year-old outfielder. But Fowler’s dream quickly turned into a nightmare.
After attempting to chase down a foul ball from Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu that was heading toward the stands, Fowler crashed into the short wall down the right field line at Guaranteed Rate Field. Fowler limped around for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground.
