He immediately fell to the ground and writhed in pain as players from both teams ran to check on him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">He remained on his back for a couple of minutes as trainers tended to him before he sat up. Perdomo talked to trainers for a bit before being helped to his feet and walking off the field on his own power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Ildemaro Vargas moved from first base to shortstop in the bottom of the inning to replace Perdomo and Tim Tawa entered the game to play first base. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">___<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">See AP\u2019s full MLB coverage here<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf ilkOIf copyright\">Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
