VIDEO: Astros' George Springer Carted off Field After Scary Collision With Outfield Wall
By Scott Rogust
This isn't the news Houston Astros wanted to hear, especially with Zack Greinke getting shelled. While facing the Milwaukee Brewers, Astros outfielder George Springer made an incredible leaping catch to rob Ryan Braun of a hit. But as he came down, Springer banged the back of his head against the center field wall in what was a scary collision.

Springer initially clutched his head and remained on the ground as his fellow teammates called for assistance. The former World Series MVP did get back to his feet, but was eventually carted off.
