The Washington Nationals have announced that Stone Garrett, a power-hitting outfielder, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left fibula. This decision comes after Garrett suffered a broken leg while attempting to rob a home run during the seventh inning of Wednesday's game against the Yankees. The incident occurred as Garrett leaped towards the right-field wall in an effort to prevent New York's DJ LeMahieu from hitting a home run.Nationals manager Dave Martinez expressed his concern for Garrett's injury, stating, "You never want to see anybody get hurt. When he went down like that, my heart dropped. He was out there wincing. He's pretty hurt."The unfortunate incident resulted in Garrett catching a spike from his left cleat in the wall's padding, while the ball cleared Yankee Stadium's short right-field porch. Trainers from both teams worked to stabilize his condition, attaching an air cast, and eventually helped him off the field to the applause of the crowd.To fill the gap left by Garrett's absence, the Nationals have recalled infielder Jeter Downs from Triple-A Rochester. This move was made in preparation for the team's series finale against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.Stone Garrett, aged 27, had been having a productive season with the Nationals, boasting a batting average of .269 along with nine home runs and 40 RBIs in 89 games. Notably, he had exhibited strong performance against left-handed pitchers, hitting seven home runs with an OPS of .839 in 122 at-bats against southpaws. In recent games, Garrett had been on a hot streak, maintaining a batting average of .378 over his last 11 games.Martinez praised Garrett's contributions, saying, "His at-bats have been good, but he's been playing defense really well. It stinks for us because he is one of our every-day players out there who is having a really good year."Stone Garrett's baseball journey began in 2014 when he made his debut in the minor leagues. He later played in Australia and Mexico before making his major league debut with the Diamondbacks in August of the previous year. Following his tenure with the Diamondbacks, Garrett chose to become a free agent and subsequently signed with the Nationals.As of now, the Nationals have not provided a specific timeline for Garrett's recovery, leaving fans and teammates hopeful for his swift return to the field.
