HOUSTON -- San Diego Padres designated hitter Luis Arraez was carted off after colliding with Mauricio Dubon on a play at first base in the first inning of Sunday night's game against the Houston Astros.

According to the Padres, Arraez was transported to Houston Methodist Hospital for further evaluation, and he was stable, conscious, responsive and able to move his extremities.

During an in-game interview with ESPN's Buster Olney on Sunday Night Baseball, Padres manager Mike Shildt said that Arraez has "a little bit of a cut on the jaw," and that the club is "worried about the jaw, the stability of that."

Arraez hit a drag bunt on the first pitch of his at-bat, grounding it down the first-base line to Christian Walker, who flipped it to second baseman Dubon, who ran over to cover first. As Dubon covered the base, he collided with Arraez, who appeared to hit Dubon's arm or elbow with his face.

Both players hit the ground, but Arraez took the worst of it, lying motionless in foul territory next to first base as trainers and coaches from both teams came out to tend to him.

Dubon and Walker, as well as Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado, stood and watched as Arraez was placed on a backboard and carted out of the stadium. As he was being placed on the cart, Arraez put his arm around San Diego manager Mike Shildt.

Arraez entered hitting .287 on the season with three home runs and seven RBIs. He is in his second season with the club, after being dealt to San Diego by the Miami Marlins last year.
