This Wednesday’s day of Major League Baseball once again saw a tremendous performance by pitcher Justin Verlander. However, his dominance was tainted by a fateful moment in which Cuban Yordan Álvarez and Dominican Jeremy Peña; they were removed from the engagement due to a clash between the two at the time of grabbing a fly ball.
Despite Peña, he was the one who finally grabbed the ball, although this did not prevent him from colliding with his teammate and according to information ; the Dominican hit the Cuban with his arm in the face, leaving him completely unconscious.
Despite the fact that both players remained lying down in the gardens of Citi Field, the doctors of the Houston Astros immediately went to the site to treat them quickly due to the strong impact that both suffered.
Peña was the first to get up after spending several minutes complaining of pain, while Álvarez was the one who took the longest to react, all this after receiving a blow to his face from his partner .
In short, the Dominican retired by his own means until he was removed from the commitment for prevention; while the Cuban had to be helped by a stretcher; generating a certain fear in the entire sidereal team.
Now, the next step will be to know how complicated the impact between both players was and more so when there is the possibility that both are on the disabled list . Of course, the Houston Astros hope that it is not a major damage.
Finally, both Yordan Álvarez and Jeremy Peña are very important in the Houston Astros lineup and after an impeccable first half of the campaign; the least they want is to lose two of their starters for the remainder of the calendar before the All-Star Game.
