MINNEAPOLIS \u2014 A frightening collision between two Detroit Tigers outfielders sent center fielder Parker Meadows to the hospital Thursday during their game against Minnesota.<\/p>

The 26-year-old Meadows suffered a head injury when he crashed into teammate Riley Greene as both players chased down a shallow fly ball hit by Josh Bell in the eighth inning. Medical staff transported Meadows off the field via cart for immediate medical evaluation.<\/p>

The collision occurred when Greene, playing left field, called for the ball while Meadows was also moving toward it from center field. Despite Meadows attempting to pull back at the final moment, his face struck Greene’s head with significant force, causing both players to fall to the ground.<\/p>

Following the impact, Meadows remained on his back appearing stunned and barely responsive, with his arms extended upward and visible bleeding on his face. After several minutes, medical personnel helped him sit upright before assisting him to his feet and onto the medical cart.<\/p>

Detroit’s organization has not yet provided an update regarding Meadows’ medical status or the extent of his injuries.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
