Angels’ Jake Jewell taken off on stretcher after injuring leg

Jake Jewell

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jake Jewell was taken off the field in a stretcher after injuring his leg while covering home on a play at the plate on Wednesday.

Jewell was pitching in the bottom of the eighth with his Angels down 8-6 and two runners on for Boston at Fenway Park. Jewell then threw a wild pitch allowing JD Martinez to score from third.

As Jewell went to cover home plate, he seemed to try and slide and injured his leg.

Jewell was down on the ground and ended up being taken out of the stadium on a stretcher.

The 25-year-old reliever was recently promoted to the big leagues by the Angels and was making just the third appearance of his career.
