MILWAUKEE (AP) 鈥� Cincinnati Reds centerfielder Dane Myers was taken to a hospital for further examination after he was removed from the field on a cart in the fourth inning of after crashing into the outfield wall
Myers made a running backhanded grab on Andrew Vaughn鈥檚 leadoff drive, then hit the wall hard with what appeared to be his left shoulder. He held onto the ball for the out with the Reds leading 1-0.
鈥淗e was X-rayed here and it came back negative,鈥� Reds manager Terry Francona said after the game. 鈥淪aying that, we sent him to the hospital because he was in so much pain and so uncomfortable.
鈥淭he kid was really hurt and it wasn鈥檛 going away. I think they want to check for a lot of things, because you saw how violent it was. He was really in pain, he鈥檚 already at the hospital. We鈥檒l see what we can find out.鈥�
Myers, who entered hitting .252, accounted for the Reds run with a two-out RBI double in the first.
鈥淭hat was an amazing catch,鈥� Francona said. 鈥淗e鈥檚 fearless going into the wall, and probably like nobody I鈥檝e ever seen. I can鈥檛 believe he held on, but he paid a pretty big price for it.鈥�
TJ Friedl, recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday after outfielder Blake Dunn was placed on the injured list with a right elbow strain, replaced Myers in centerfield.
