San Diego Padres first baseman Luis Arraez was stretchered off the field at Daikin Park in Houston on Sunday night after colliding with Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubon while running out a bunt. 

Arraez was busting it down the line after dragging his bunt toward the bag, and Dubon noticed that first baseman Christian Walker and pitcher Framber Valdez were not going to get to the base in time to make the out. 

Walker flipped the ball to Dubon, who just beat Arraez to the bag, but he didn’t provide Arraez any way to run through the bag. In a blink, Arraez and Dubon collided, and the Padres star caught the worst of it.

The scene was a scary one as Arraez lay still on the grass near first base. Medical staff rushed to help the designated hitter. After an 11-minute delay, he was placed on a stretcher with his neck and head secured and carted off the field to Houston Methodist Hospital.

The Padres released a statement later saying that Arraez was in stable condition.

"He is currently stable, conscious, responsive, and able to move his extremities," the statement reads. 

Arraez also gave a thumbs-up to the crowd at Daikin Park to show he was conscious and aware, which led to a positive reception from everyone.
