What looked like a routine ground ball to first base turned into a concerning moment for the Philadelphia Phillies. 

In the top of the second inning in the Phillies’ spring training game against the Detroit Tigers Thursday, first baseman Rhys Hoskins backed up on a ball hit to him. 

But just as he was about to snag the ball, Hoskins’ left knee appeared to give out on him as he tumbled into the right field grass.

Hoskins was clutching at his knee as EMTs rushed to the field after the non-contact injury. He was carted off as his teammates watched, and the team will wait to find out how serious the injury is. 

Hoskins' status for the season will remain in doubt until he has tests on the knee.

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost Gavin Lux in a spring training game against the San Diego Padres earlier this spring after his knee buckled while he ran to third base on a routine grounder. He tore his ACL and is lost for the season.
