In the top of the 6th inning with the White Sox down 3-0, Dawrin Barney hit a flare into short right field. Both Willy Garcia and Yoan Moncada both made incredible efforts, as Garcia actually made a great sliding grab. However, Moncada was flying at full speed and could not get out of the way in time as his knee collided right into the side of Garcia’s head.

Garcia dropped the ball and it was confirmed as a hit after a White Sox challenge. Both Garcia and Moncada remained on the ground in pain for a good five minutes. Garcia eventually was able to stand and walk back to the dugout, but the same could not be said for Moncada. Eventually, the cart had to be taken out to drive him off of the field. Both Garcia and Moncada will not return to tonight’s game.
