Dodger Stadium’s outfield wall may have claimed another victim.
Rockies outfielder Jurickson Profar left Sunday’s 8-3 loss to the Dodgers in the second inning with a twisted knee after crashing into the left field wall.
Yankees outfielder and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge missed almost two months with a torn ligament in his toe after crashing through a wall in right field in June.
Although Judge’s injury stemmed from him banging his toe into the concrete at the base of the wall, Profar seemingly twisted his knee due to the weird padding set up in left field.
Profar made a leaping catch in front of the wall and his momentum took him into the wall, where his knee connected with padding – which weirdly juts out of the wall – and potentially the fence.
Jurickson Profar suffered a twisted knee after crashing into the wall at Dodger Stadium on Sunday. APThat section of the wall at Dodger Stadium shows the out-of-town scoreboard, thus creating a weird setup of padding and what appears to be a mesh or chain-link fence.
Profar hobbled on his right leg for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground and he was helped off the field by a pair of trainers.
Jurickson Profar is helped off the field Sunday. APThe leaping catch saved one, if not two runs, and robbed Mookie Betts of an extra-base hit, but the Rockies still suffered a four-game sweep in Hollywood.
The Associated Press reported that Profar would be examined Sunday night.
Profar missing time would not be crushing to the NL-worst Rockies (45-73), but it puts the spotlight again on Dodger Stadium.
Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge tore a ligament in a toe on June 3 when he crashed into the Dodger Stadium fence. Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsJudge’s June 3 injury arguably changed the calculus of the Yankees season, which has spiraled out of control as they sit in last place in the AL East at 60-58.
Dodgers President and CEO Stan Kasten said the team planned to reinforce the padding of the wall Judge crashed through and add a strip of padding in front of the concrete that Judge smashed into with his toe, according to The Athletic.
Dodger Stadium opened in 1962 and is MLB’s third-oldest stadium (Fenway Park, 1912, and Wrigley Field, 1914) but is not as modern as many of its counterparts.
