Yankees OF Dustin Fowler suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first inning of his MLB debut on Thursday night against the White Sox. Fowler suffered an open rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee when he slammed into the wall down the right field line attempting to catch a foul ball.

"It's one of the worst things I've seen on a baseball field," Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner said, according to the Washington Post. "I just can't imagine a worse scenario for him.

Over the next few days the White Sox will get a taste of what their lineup would look like without Avisail Garcia.

That squandered a start by the RailRiders' Chance Adams, a 2015 fifth-round pick who came into the game as one of the hottest young pitchers in the International League. He carried a 5-2 record and a 2.12 ERA before giving up one hit and one run in the one inning he pitched. After the abbreviated contest, Adams' answers Continue to Article
