Yesterday, a striking scene took place in Houston.
Luis Arraez, while running towards the first goal after having dropped off, found himself in front of Mauricio Dubon. The two men had a heavy contact in the first cushion.
And it ended badly.
As we can see on the following images, Arraez did not get up. He needed a kart to get out of the field and timidly raised his thumb to indicate to the crowd he was fine.

According to the manager of the Padres, Arraez temporarily lost contact with reality because for a bit, he did not know exactly where he was. So it struck hard.
He was transported to the hospital, where he found his senses.
Luis Arraez has been transported to Houston Methodist Hospital for further evaluation. He is currently stable, conscious, responsive, and able to move his extremities.

The paadres were afraid that a fracture be at stake in the case of snatching, but it seems to go. He has no major major injury and without being perfect, he is still doing well.
This is good news, that.
Note that the Padres, who won the match with a 3-2 account, were afraid that his jaw will be cut or that his neck be affected. We will see later today how it is.
But casually, it is the second heavy contact for the first goal at the end of the week after Alan Roden (who stayed in the match in Toronto) and Rowdy Telz. Should we do like when we were young with two cushions with the first goal?

Is it time for MLB to implement a safety bag to reduce the amount of potential collisions at 1st base??? pic.twitter.com/D8EaxPB5FU
