DETROIT (AP) — Houston Astros outfielder Taylor Trammell was being evaluated for a concussion after being carted off during Wednesday’s loss to the Detroit Tigers following a crash into the center field fence in the first inning.
The Tigers led 4-0 with no one out when Dillon Dingler hit a line drive to deep center. The ball deflected off Trammell’s glove just before he hit the fence. Dingler ended up with an RBI triple, giving Detroit a five-run lead.
Trammell was examined by the Houston training staff and started to walk off the field before going to a knee. A cart was brought out and he was taken into the tunnel behind right field.

Astros manager Joe Espada said after the 7-2 loss that Trammell was being evaluated for a concussion as well as dealing with stiffness in his neck and back. He was scheduled to travel to Baltimore with the team on Wednesday night.
It was the second time Trammell needed assistance from trainers in 15 hours. In the ninth inning of Houston’s 1-0 loss on Tuesday night, he landed on his back after catching a foul flyball and had to be checked out before staying in the game.
