Cards' Piscotty carted off field after collision

On Monday night in Pittsburgh, Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty collided with teammate Peter Bourjos while pursuing a ball hit to the left-center gap. First, an update from the Cardinals:

Piscotty was diving for the ball at impact and appeared to hit his face or head against Bourjos' knee at near full speed. Bourjos almost immediately waved his arms frantically for the trainers to come out, which they did.
