Taylor Ward injury update: What happened to Los Angeles Angels left fielder?
Angels LF Taylor Ward suffers serious facial injury after crashing into outfield wall vs Astros, later carted off as teammates rushed to aid him.
Los Angeles Angels left fielder Taylor Ward suffered a serious injury to his face after colliding with the outfield wall during the game against the Houston Astros on Sunday. Ward was going for a catch in the eighth inning of the game when he collided with the outfield wall face-first.
Soon after, he fell to the ground holding his face, and then walked off to the Los Angeles bullpen, facing away from the camera at Daikin Park. Relief pitcher Andrew Chafin quickly came to him and held a towel to his face. Ward was then carted off the field as he kept holding the towel.
Here's the video of the moment:
As Ward was replaced on the field by Christian Moore, he was treated by medical staff from both teams. Based on the initial reports, it seems that Ward suffered a laceration to his face. However, the Angels are yet to issue an official update.
