Cleveland Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter was removed from Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after fouling a ball off his left foot in the first inning. The team will evaluate the extent of the injury through imaging tests, with Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneemann potentially seeing increased playing time in the outfield if DeLauter needs to miss additional games.
Why it matters
DeLauter has struggled with injuries throughout his young MLB career, and any extended absence would be a significant blow to the Guardians' outfield depth and lineup. The team is hoping for positive news from the medical evaluation to avoid losing one of their top offensive threats for an extended period.
The details
In the first inning of Tuesday's game, DeLauter fouled a pitch off his left foot and immediately headed to the Guardians' clubhouse. The team did not provide an immediate update on the severity of the injury, but will likely conduct imaging tests to determine if there is any structural damage that could sideline the 24-year-old outfielder.
