Colorado Rockies rookie Brenton Doyle was carted off the field during Thursday night’s game against the Miami Marlins after he was injured when he collided with the center field wall while nearly robbing Jorge Soler’s home run.
Doyle, 25, likely suffered a knee contusion in the ninth inning when he made contact with the wall in an attempt to deny Soler a home run and save the Rockies' 6-2 lead.

He was eventually helped up but was carted off the field.
