George Springer was carted off the field in the fifth inning of the Astros' game against the Brewers on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old outfielder was forced to leave the game after his head appeared to hit the wall after he made a catch in centerfield. He stayed down on the ground for several moments before getting to his feet and exiting on the cart.

Springer came into the matchup slashing .296/.388/.573 with 30 home runs and 78 RBIs in 104 games this season. He spent time on the injured list earlier this season with a hamstring injury.
Springer was replaced by Kyle Tucker, Houston's top-ranked prospect who was called up earlier this week.
The Astros entered play Tuesday with a 90-49 record and a 10 1/2 game lead over the Athletics in the American League West.
