Mariners star Julio Rodríguez leaves win over Astros with ankle injury after crashing into outfield wall

Two-time Seattle Mariners All-Star Julio Rodríguez left Sunday's 6-4 win over the Houston Astros with an ankle injury after a violent collision with the outfield wall.

After the game, manager Scott Servais told reporters that X-rays were negative while calling the injury "a little bit of an ankle sprain." A timeline for Rodríguez's return wasn't initially clear.

Rodríguez attempted to make a play on a deep fly ball off the bat of Yordan Álvarez. He crashed into the wall and dropped the ball at the warning track. Both of his feet hit the wall, and he left a gash in the wall with the spikes on his left shoe.
