Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi was carted off the field after sustaining an apparent leg injury during Monday night’s game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
With two outs away for Houston in the bottom of the fifth inning, Boston’s Kiké Hernández hit a ground ball to the right side of the infield. Odorizzi began to come off the mound in an attempt to cover first base, but took an awkward step and appeared to twist his left leg. He fell to the ground and remained there until after the out was recorded and the inning came to a close.
Members of the Astros training staff quickly rushed out after the inning was over to tend to Odorizzi. He was loaded onto a stretcher and wheeled off the field through an outfield exit.
