HOUSTON — Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy was carted off the field Sunday after a violent collision at the plate with Houston's Jake Marisnick, and manager Brad Ausmus thinks the league should consider suspending the Astros outfielder.
The team said Lucroy was taken to a hospital for a CT scan and is being evaluated for a possible concussion and nose fracture.
The bases were loaded with the game tied at 10 when Marisnick attempted to score on a sacrifice fly by George Springer in a game Houston won 11-10 in the 10th inning.
Marisnick crashed into Lucroy as he attempted to field the throw, and the catcher immediately fell on his back.
