Feltner was crouched on his knees as he tried to battle through the pain. He didn’t appear to lose consciousness and Rockies trainers rushed out to the field to help him. He walked off the field with the assistance of staff members.

"He's under observation at a local hospital," Rockies manager Bud Black said after the game. "He's undergoing a litany of exams and tests. We'll know more in the morning."

Philadelphia won the game 7-4.

"There was a part of me that wanted to go to the mound, but I guess the baseball player takes over and you run to first," Castellanos said of the incident. "As soon as I touched first I turned around and was really hoping what just happened didn't happen."
