Astros' outfielder carted off after crashing into wall
Houston Astros center fielder Taylor Trammell was carted off the field in the first inning of Wednesday's game vs. the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
Trammell crashed into the wall trying to track down Dillon Dingler's fly ball, which sailed out of reach for an RBI triple that put the Tigers up 5-0.
Astros' No. 2 prospect (per MLB Pipeline), Jacob Melton, replaced Trammell at center field.
Trammell's injury troubles
Trammell's glove made contact with Dingler's fly ball, but it proved to be just out of reach. He then collided with the center field wall and landed awkwardly on the warning track. Trammell tried to walk off the field on his own power but fell to one knee and was visibly in discomfort.
That's when the cart entered from right field. Trammell was helped onto the back seat and transported out of the game as the fans at Comerica Park clapped to show their respect.
Trammell entered the series finale already shaken up from Tuesday night's game against Detroit. This time in left field, he misjudged a foul ball that was lined down the third base line.
Trammell had to leap backwards to make the catch, which caused him to fall awkwardly on his back. Still, he recorded the out to send the game to extra innings, where Detroit secured a 1-0 win in the 10th.
Melton made his 20th major league appearance when he took the field in place of Trammell, who was batting .208/.313/.354 with 3 homers and 11 RBI over 42 games this season. Trammell made his MLB debut in 2021 and spent the first three seasons of his career with the Seattle Mariners.

UPDATED: Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler making perfect game bid facing Rays
TAMPA, Fla. — Yankees manager Aaron Boone was asked before Wednesday night's game against the Rays if the plan is to continue having rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler working five-innings starts. 'Just depends,' Boone said. 'If we can get him deep into a game, great. Those are decisions that kind of happen in the moment depending on the game and how it's unfolding and where you are.' A bid at making history was all it took. Making his seventh career start since a first MLB call-up on July 9, Schlittler was perfect through six innings in the Yankees' series finale against the Rays. The Yankees led the Rays 2-0 through five on the strength of two solo home runs, Trent Grisham's to lead off the game and Austin Wells' with one out in the fifth. Retiring 18 in a row, Schlittler's pitch count was at just 66 heading into the fifth inning, 51 of them strikes. Schittler threw first-pitch strikes to 13 of the 18 batters and fell behind 2-0 only in the fourth to Yandy Diaz, who strike out swinging on six pitches on a 98.6-mph fastball. He fanned six through six innings — one in each frame — and nobody came close to getting a hit. The Yankees took a quick 1-0 lead when Grisham homered off Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen before Schlitter began his mastery. Schlittler started his outing with Chandler Simpson striking out looking on three pitches, then he retired Yandy Diaz and Brandon Lower on flyballs in an 11-pitch inning. Heading into the game, Schilling was 1-2 with a 3.94 ERA. He worked five innings in four starts, a career-long 5.1 innings in his debut and 4.1 in another. 'I'm really encouraged by the way he continues to throw the ball,' Boone said. Here are other recent Yankees posts to check out: -- Austin Wells opens up on losing starts to Ben Rice: 'I get it ...

Dustin Pedroia knows consequences Francisco Alvarez faces from 'doable' injury plan
Access the Mets beat like never before Don't miss Mike Puma's text messages from Queens and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Mets. Sign up Now WASHINGTON — Francisco Alvarez will attempt to postpone surgery on a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb, grip a bat while compromised and still be able to make throws while nursing that thumb. That Alvarez wants to try to return to the club in time for the stretch run and perhaps postseason is both admirable and somewhat difficult to envision. There are not many who know what awaits the Mets catcher. But there are a few. Advertisement 'It's doable,' reported Dustin Pedroia, who would know. 'The pain — it is what it is. It's going to suck.' The best-case scenario for Alvarez became the best-case scenario for Pedroia, who learned to live and play with the pain, ripped off an All-Star and Gold Glove season and then helped the Red Sox win a World Series championship.
