Astro’s RHP Ryne Stanek had to leave the field with an ankle injury
Houston Astros Substitute Ryne Stanek was carried off the field at the end of the ninth inning of Monday’s 13-6 win over Texas Rangers with an apparent injury to his right ankle.
The Astros confirmed after the game that Stanek was being evaluated for a right ankle injury.
Stanek was the first to cover the Leody Taveras infield single. He stepped on base as he caught Jose Abreu’s throw and immediately fell to the ground, grabbing his ankle.
The team’s coaches looked after him for a few minutes before the car was brought out. Stanek, 32, hopped to the cart, making sure to keep his right foot off the ground.
Stanek allowed Josh Smith a home run to open the ninth round. He’s 3-1 with a 4.07 ERA in 53 appearances this season.
