Brewers outfielder Brandon Lockridge exited Friday’s game against the Yankees on a cart after crashing into a low wall along the left field line.
Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger hit a high fly ball into left that tailed into foul ground, and as Lockridge gave chase, he slid along the warning track to try and make the play.
But as he slid into the dirt, his left knee crashed into the jutting stands in that part of American Family Field as the ball fell to the ground. He was immediately in pain and then rolled over into fair ground onto his stomach.

AP The 29-year-old lay prone on the dirt as his teammates and the Brewers staff came out to examine him.
Lockridge was eventually helped to his fee by athletic trainer Brad Epstein and first baseman Andrew Vaughn but was carted off the field after a delay.
He was carted off the diamond and replaced in the game by Garrett Mitchell.
Lockridge had two run-scoring singles — improving his average to .294 on the season — off Yankees starter Max Fried before the injury.
