CLEVELAND (AP) — Jo Adell had a career night and showed the power that made the Cleveland Guardians acquire him at the trade deadline.
However, in a season in which every good thing that happens to the Guardians ends up being followed by a setback, Adell's night ended on a down note Tuesday.
Adell left before the eighth inning of the Guardians' 8-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants due to a bruised left knee. He fouled a pitch off his left kneecap during the first inning before hitting a 455-foot, three-run homer three pitches later.
Adell was receiving treatment after the game and wasn't available for comment after setting a career high with six RBIs and the longest homer of his seven-year career. He will continue to be evaluated.
"It seems like every time we go out and check on somebody, they do something pretty special," manager Stephen Vogt said after the Guardians' win. "But Jo obviously fouled that ball off his knee pretty hard. That's why we took him out of the game. He was feeling some pretty good pain as the game went on."
