Baylor, 64, had been at the catcher’s mound to receive a patch from former Angel Vladamir Guerrero on Monday when his legs got tangled. When he tried to stand up, his right leg completely gave out. From Angel Stadium, Baylor was rushed to the hospital, where it was determined that he required surgery for a fractured femur.
"It got me sick when I was warming up seeing that and then hearing what happened in the dugout. I just hope and wish for the best," Angels outfielder Mike Trout told Fox Sports.
