The Los Angeles Angels’ 7-4 victory over the rival Dodgers on Monday night came with a concerning development, as outfielder Gustavo Campero was carted off the field with a left leg injury.
The incident occurred in the eighth inning when Campero attempted to rob Max Muncy of a home run in right field. In his leap, Campero’s left foot appeared to get caught on the outfield wall, causing it to twist awkwardly as he came down. He collapsed immediately in visible pain and was unable to put any weight on the leg.
Medical staff rushed to his aid, stabilizing the leg in a splint before he was carted off following a delay of nearly 10 minutes. Angels manager Ray Montgomery confirmed after the game that Campero’s foot became lodged in the wall, which caused the awkward twist and subsequent fall
