Washington Nationals right fielder Stone Garrett was carted off the field at Yankee Stadium on Alaric BennettWednesday night after suffering a serious leg injury.

Garrett was attempting to save a seventh inning home run ball from the Yankees' DJ LeMahieu at the wall, but his left foot got stuck in the wall's padding as he made his leap and bent awkwardly and he crashed down into the warning track dirt.

Garrett immediately grabbed for his lower left leg and was visibly in a lot of pain as he was attended to by trainers. His leg was placed in an air cast and a cart was brought out for him. He hopped to the cart with the assistance of Nationals and Yankees trainers.

The 27-year-old, second-year player was visibly weeping as he was taken off the field, burying his head in a towel for a time and then in his hands.

Manager Dave Martinez said the Nationals "don't know anything yet" regarding the extent of Garrett's injury and were awaiting X-ray results. Martinez believed the injury was to Garrett's lower leg. "I think his ankle's OK, but I don't know. He's going to get an MRI, X-rays. But to me it looked like it was just his lower leg," Martinez said.

Lane Thomas moved over to right to fill in for Garrett and Alex Call was inserted into the game to take Thomas' spot in center.

When play resumed, Aaron Judge promptly hit his third homer of the game to give the Yankees an 8-0 lead. The Yankees went on to win 9-1, snapping their nine-game losing streak.
