Taylor Ward Injury Update: Angels outfielder to miss the rest of season 

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward had to be carted off in the fifth inning of Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays. Ward was hit in the head by a pitch from starter Alek Manoah.

It was a scary incident as Ward was seen with blood on his face. The medical staff helped him to the cart as he held a towel over his face to stop the bleeding.

The stadium went silent after Ward went down. You could see the frustration from Manoah as he immediately threw his hands over his head. Even Shohei Ohtani had no words for what had just happened.

Toronto fans gave Taylor Ward a standing ovation when he returned to his feet and into the cart. Andrew Velazquez later replaced him. Ward was 1-2 on Saturday before having to leave the game.

Taylor Ward to miss the remainder of season

Taylor Ward will reportedly miss the remainder of the regular season after undergoing multiple tests. The outfielder could return for the post-season if the Angels qualify but that's still a longshot. The Angels have placed the outfielder on the 60-day IL.

With Taylor Ward down, injuries are piling up for the LA Angels

This is not what the Los Angeles Angels need right now. They already have one of their best players on the IL as Mike Trout tries to recover from his hamate bone injury.

Trout is not the only player trying to recover from an injury. The Angels had nine players on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game. These names include Logan O'Hoppe, Anthony Rendon, and Gio Urshela.

All of these injuries will put more pressure on Ohtani to perform. The team decided to keep him instead of dealing him at the trade deadline as they look to make the postseason this year.

All eyes will be on the Angels during the second stretch of the season.
