Dustin Fowler's Major League debut may have ended in unimaginable fashion, but the Yankees' rookie outfielder vows that it will simply make his first at-bat that much more special.
Speaking from a Chicago hospital on Friday, Fowler told the New York Post that he'll battle back from a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee. Fowler suffered the injury when he crashed into the first-base-line rail while chasing a foul ball in the first inning against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
With doctors worried about an infection, Fowler underwent surgery at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center.
