PHOENIX — Arizona shortstop Stephen Drew broke his right ankle sliding into home plate in the bottom of the fourth inning against Milwaukee on Wednesday night, moments before Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez left with a broken left collar bone.
The Diamondbacks stated surgery was likely for the each day shortstop, the anchor of the team’s defense. The Brewers announced Gomez’s injury late in the game.
Drew was injured trying to score from second on Chris Young’s base hit to left field. Drew, out on the play, grimaced in pain and signaled for help from the dugout. He did not put any weight on his right foot as he was helped from the field by trainers.
Moments later, Gomez made a brilliant catch of Ryan Roberts’ short flyball but immediately grabbed his collar bone area.
Gomez is the back-up to regular center fielder Nyjer Morgan.
