    Alexander was playing his first game in center field as a big leaguer.

    Gurriel stayed on the ground for several minutes while medical staff attended to him. The 31-year-old eventually got up and walked to a cart before being driven off the field.

    Additional tests confirmed the torn ACL.

    Gurriel is batting .248 this season with 19 homers and 80 RBIs.
