A Yankees–Angels game in Anaheim is delayed in the top of the sixth inning after Ben Rice hits a foul ball that lands in the first-base camera well and appears to strike a photographer in the head. The incident prompts immediate on-field medical attention, and the photographer is removed from the area.
Multiple outlets describe the injury as occurring during play in the first-base line camera well, with the ball fouled by Rice rather than a ball in fair territory. The New York Post reports that Yankees medical staff, including team sports medicine personnel, rush to the scene and that the incident is handled as a medical emergency. The Athletic similarly reports the photographer is struck and carted off the field.
The accounts align on the key facts—Rice fouls the ball, it reaches the camera well, and the photographer is injured—while offering limited additional detail beyond the immediate response and removal from the field.
