Rockies outfielder David Dahl was carted off the field on Friday night after suffering an apparent ankle injury against the Giants.

Dahl tracked down a routine fly ball in center field, but slipped on the grass at Coors Field as he made the grab. His left ankle appeared to turn as he slipped on the turf, causing Dahl to collapse in pain and grab his ankle.
