Garrett was carted off the sector within the eighth inning of the Nationals‘ 9-1 loss to the host New York Yankees.

He was injured when his leg slammed into the wall in proper discipline whereas he was attempting to rob DJ LeMahieu’s homer.

“You by no means need to see anyone get damage,” Nationals supervisor Dave Martinez stated. “When he went down like that, my coronary heart dropped.”

Garrett, 27, is batting .269 with 9 homers and 40 RBIs by way of 89 video games this season, his first with the Nationals.

In a corresponding transfer, Washington recalled infielder Jeter Downs from Triple-A Rochester forward of Thursday’s sequence finale at Yankee Stadium.

Downs, 25, batted .400 (2-for-5) with 4 walks, 4 runs, one RBI and two steals in six video games with the Nationals earlier this season.
