HOUSTON (AP) Dustin Fowler was expected to leave the hospital on Friday, a day after undergoing surgery for a serious knee injury he suffered crashing into a low wall trying to catch a foul ball for the New York Yankees in his major league debut.
The outfielder ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee in the first inning of New York’s 4-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night. He tried to walk after running into a metal box in the short sidewall near the corner attempting to make the catch before crumbling to the ground.
