    Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado was taken off the field on a stretcher after injuring his left leg running out an infield single.

    Machado's leg buckled when he reached the first-base bag in the seventh inning of Monday's 5-4 loss that completed a four-game sweep at the hands of the Rays.

    Baltimore manager Buck Showalter had no immediate update on Machado's injury after the game as the team awaited test results. Machado will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

    "I'm sure we won't get a full diagnosis until we get an MRI back in Baltimore (on Tuesday)," Showalter said while acknowledging that "it certainly doesn't look very promising right now."
