Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Kendall George sustained an injury in a peculiar incident during a Tulsa Drillers game on Monday night.

George was unable to continue playing and left the field visibly frustrated by the unusual circumstances.
The extent of George's injury is not yet clear, which is a significant concern given his strong performance this season. Through 43 games, George has been a key player for Tulsa, boasting a .333 batting average, 16 RBIs, and 52 runs scored. His speed has also been notable, with 26 stolen bases.
