MILWAUKEE (AP) — Cincinnati Reds centerfielder Dane Myers was taken to a hospital for further examination after he was removed from the field on a cart in the fourth inning of Monday’s 5-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers after crashing into the outfield wall
Myers made a running backhanded grab on Andrew Vaughn’s leadoff drive, then hit the wall hard with what appeared to be his left shoulder. He held onto the ball for the out with the Reds leading 1-0.
“He was X-rayed here and it came back negative,” Reds manager Terry Francona said after the game. “Saying that, we sent him to the hospital because he was in so much pain and so uncomfortable.
“The kid was really hurt and it wasn’t going away. I think they want to check for a lot of things, because you saw how violent it was. He was really in pain, he’s already at the hospital. We’ll see what we can find out.”
Myers, who entered hitting .252, accounted for the Reds run with a two-out RBI double in the first.
“That was an amazing catch,” Francona said. “He’s fearless going into the wall, and probably like nobody I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe he held on, but he paid a pretty big price for it.”
TJ Friedl, recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday after outfielder Blake Dunn was placed on the injured list with a right elbow strain, replaced Myers in centerfield.
