Cincinnati Reds Outfielder Austin Hays Leaves Game vs Royals With Injury

Reds outfielder Austin Hays left the game vs the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday after fouling a ball off his foot.

Hays stayed in the game initially to run the bases, but was later pinch-hit for by Gavin Lux.

John Sadak announced on the broadcast that it is a left foot contusion for Hays.

The 29-year-old has been one of Cincinnati's best hitters this season, slashing 308/.346/.564 with 15 extra-base hits in 30 games.

If Hays were to miss much time, it would be a major blow for the Reds offense.
