On September 22, Kansas City Royals fans held their breath for the second time in roughly two months after Adalberto Mondesi dove to stop a ball, got up to throw, but went back down. The training staff was immediately on top of him and he would walk off under his own power. If you recall, Mondesi injured his shoulder on a much more violent diving play in mid-July.
The 24-year old shortstop attempted to catch a ball in foul territory, running at full speed, dove and remained to lie face down. He made his return to the team on September 1 after a brief rehab stint with the Triple-A squad.
