Taylor Trammell has been placed on the disabled list in Daytona with concussion like symptoms. Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com had the first report that I saw, though maybe someone else had it first and I just missed it.
Taylor released this tweet earlier this evening.
Thank for the prayers and kind words from everyone. I’m fine, I just left half of my face on the wall. ?

In what seems like the Cincinnati Reds 2018 minor league season all wrapped up, Taylor Trammell left the game in Daytona on Tuesday night after colliding with the wall. The center fielder was 1-4 on the night with a double at that point.
The severity of the injury, if there even was one, is not yet known. The only report comes from the Daytona Tortugas official twitter account which noted that he left the game after crashing into the center field wall.

The Cincinnati Reds began the year with a top 5 prospect grouping that included Nick Senzel, Hunter Greene, Taylor Trammell, Jesse Winker, and Tyler Mahle. Three of those players are out for the season with injuries. Two of them have had surgery, and Hunter Greene may need one. To say that things have gone poorly from a health standpoint would be a drastic understatement.
This post will be updated when there’s more news on Taylor Trammell.
