The Brewers’ health-related employees helped Adames for various minutes prior to he left to go back to the clubhouse and ultimately to a neighborhood hospital to be additional evaluated. His present status is unknown, although he was reportedly alert and in a position to stroll on his personal.
Adames was replaced by Brice Turang at shortstop. Anderson completed the at-bat with tears in his eyes immediately after hitting the foul ball, per MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy. He grounded out to shortstop.
