Mariners star Julio Rodríguez leaves game with apparent leg injury after crashing into outfield wall

Two-time Seattle Mariners All-Star Julio Rodríguez left Sunday’s game against the Houston Astros with an apparent leg injury following a violent collision with the outfield wall.

Rodríguez tried to make a play on a deep ball off the bat of Yordan Álvarez. He hit the wall and dropped the ball into the warning lane. Both his feet hit the wall and he left a gash in the wall with the toes of his left shoe. He immediately grabbed his right ankle in pain as he fell to the ground.

Rodríguez spent several moments on the ground before getting up and being helped off the field by a trainer. He managed to limp off the field after putting weight on his right foot, but did not return to the game. Details of his injury were not immediately clear.

Álvarez reached third base on the play for an RBI triple to cut Seattle’s lead to 3-2 in the top of the sixth inning.

This is a developing story that will be updated.
