San Diego Padres All-Star Jason Adam was taken off the field Monday night with a lower limb injury. The relief pitcher quickly felt pain in seven innings after the cleat appeared to be stuck on the mound.
After the game it became clear that he had a rupture of the quad tendon and would likely miss six or nine months.
