Overview

  • He stumbled while rounding second in the opening frame in Boston and exited after an on-field check.
  • Team trainer Scott Barringer evaluated him and had him run brief sprints before he was pulled.
  • The Orioles announced an ankle issue with no timetable or roster move disclosed.
  • The setback follows a season already interrupted by a left hamstring strain and recurring finger problems.
  • It came one day after a four-hit, five-RBI game, and he entered Monday batting .276 with 15 home runs.
