The Los Angeles Dodgers dealing with injury issues as a series against the Minnesota Twins continues.
Two members of the team — Kyle Tucker and Dalton Rushing — had to leave Monday’s 2-1 win over the Twins for significantly different reasons.
Tucker left after earning a walk in his first at-bat. He sprinted from first base to second after Tommy Edman singled, but then clutched his right side. He squatted on the base when the team called a timeout.
Alex Call entered the game to pinch-run for Tucker, who went back to the dugout. The Yankees then announced that Tucker had left after dealing with back spasms.
The Yankees then lost Rushing at the catcher position. The team said he left the game to rule out a concussion. They brought in Chuckie Robinson to take over the position.
Rushing took a deflected pitch from the facemask in the first inning. He put his hand on the ground as he recovered and then shook his head a few times.
Rushing remained in the game until the third inning before eventually leaving.
The two injury concerns surfaced as the Dodgers continue to dominate the National League West. The Los Angeles-based team has a 50-29 record and a nine-game lead over the Padres.
