Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Brandon Lockridge sustained a leg injury Friday evening and required a cart to leave the field during his team’s home matchup against the New York Yankees.
The incident occurred in the fourth inning when Lockridge dove unsuccessfully for Cody Bellinger’s foul pop-up, colliding with the outfield barrier. The player appeared to make contact with the concrete beneath the wall padding at a corner where the barrier extends outward.
Prior to his exit, Lockridge was having an outstanding offensive performance, going 2-for-2 with one run scored. He contributed significantly to Milwaukee’s early lead with an RBI hit during a four-run rally in the second inning against pitcher Max Fried, then drove in another run with a single in the third frame that extended the Brewers’ advantage to 5-0.
The outfielder entered the contest with a .277 batting average, zero home runs, and 10 runs batted in for the season. Milwaukee officials have not yet provided an update regarding Lockridge’s condition or the extent of his injury.
