Yankees’ Matt Carpenter Exits vs. Mariners With Left Foot Fracture

The Yankees will be without Matt Carpenter for the foreseeable future after the veteran slugger sustained a left foot fracture against the Mariners, the team announced Monday night.

Carpenter, who has been in the midst of a resurgent season in his first year with New York, sustained the injury in the first inning after fouling a 88-mph slider from Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert off of his left foot.

The 12-year veteran immediately appeared to be in noticeable pain as he hobbled around home plate. Carpenter eventually continued his at-bat, which ended in a strikeout on the next pitch, before exiting the game.
