Nationals’ Outfielder Stone Garrett Got Injured While Trying to Stop a Home Run Against Yankees
The Nats vs Yankees game at Yankees Stadium witnessed something serious when Stone Garrett, a player for the Washington Nationals, got hurt while trying to prevent the New York Yankees from scoring a home run. This happened on a Wednesday night and got everyone worried.
Here’s what happened: Stone Garrett was playing in the outfield. DJ LeMahieu from the Yankees hit the ball, and it looked like it might become a home run. Garrett tried really hard to catch the ball before it went out of the field, but he didn’t succeed. He banged into the wall and hurt his left leg in the process.
DJ goes the other way!

When Garrett tried to catch the ball, his foot got stuck on the wall’s padding. He was in pain and had to lie down for about six minutes. The doctors put something called an air cast on his leg to help him feel better. Then, with the help of his teammates and the medical team, he got up and was taken off the field on a cart. People in the crowd clapped and cheered for him. Many fans on social media also offer prayers for his well-being.
Just awful, hoping he has a full and speedy recovery https://t.co/133uccyj1Y

That’s awful to see. Guy beat the tar out of the PCL with Reno last year just to get a shot at the majors with the #dbacks before being claimed by Washington. https://t.co/2vqLQTVrkj
