Sept. 29--St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Stephen Piscotty was carted off the field Monday in Pittsburgh after hitting his head on center fielder Peter Bourjos' knee while the two chased a fly ball.
The two outfielders drifted toward each other while spotting a Josh Harrison blooper to left-center field in the seventh inning. As they got closer, Piscotty appeared to lose his footing and collided with Bourjos.
Bourjos made the catch and summoned trainers. Piscotty did not move immediately after the contact and appeared unconscious.
Piscotty was attended to and taken off the field on a stretcher, and waved to the crowd as he left.
The Cardinals later announced Piscotty had suffered a head contusion and was being taken to a local hospital for further examination.
In 62 games, Piscotty, a 24-year-old rookie, is hitting .310 with seven home runs and 39 runs batted in.
He was replaced in left field by Jon Jay.
