Manny Machado Suffers Sprained Ankle in First Inning vs. Rockies

Padres star Manny Machado appeared to suffer a gruesome left ankle injury while running to first base in the first inning of a game against the Rockies on Sunday.

In his first at-bat, Machado hit a weak ground ball back in the direction of Colorado pitcher Antonio Senzatela. He hustled down the line and as he stretched his left leg toward first base, his foot appeared to slip off the bag. His leg buckled and he fell to the ground a few feet beyond the base.

Machado was out on the play, with the throw from Senzatela beating him by a narrow margin.
