MILWAUKEE – Brewers left fielder Brandon Lockridge was carted off the field during Friday’s game against the Yankees after his right knee crashed into concrete at the base of the wall at American Family Field while he chased a fly ball in the fourth inning.
Lockridge was attempting to make a sliding catch of Cody Bellinger’s foul ball when his knee connected with the wall. Lockridge received immediate attention from head athletic trainer Brad Epstein and was helped to his feet, but he appeared unable to put any weight on his right leg.
It was an abrupt end to what had already been a productive night for the 29-year-old outfielder. Lockridge’s second-inning single produced the first of four Brewers runs in the frame.
