Toronto Blue Jays right fielder George Springer exited Saturday’s game against the host New York Mets in the eighth inning after crashing face-first into the fence.
With runners on first and second, Springer raced back to the warning track in an attempt to field a triple on Jesse Winker and hit the fence as the Mets forged a 2-2 tie.
Springer was making his second start in right field and was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before getting replaced by Nathan Lukes.
After hitting .220 in 145 games last season, Springer, a four-time All-Star, is batting .379 with one homer and five RBIs in nine games.
The Mets won the game 3-2.
