Phillies infielder Maikel Franco was involved in a scary moment during Tuesday’s game, after making a great catch near the Nationals dugout.

It happened when Franco was pursuing a ball that was popped up into foul territory, near the third-base line. He tracked it perfectly, reached out with his glove and made a great catch, but flipped over the railing in doing so — landing in the camera well.

Franco fell deep into a concrete well, and landed hard. He was tended to by the medical staff, but eventually walked off on his own power back to the dugout. He was replaced by Pedro Florimon.
