The Los Angeles Dodgers got a little bit of a scare Tuesday night against the Colorado Rockies when they saw Mookie Betts and Jason Heyward collide in the outfield that left the former wincing in pain on the ground.

Fortunately for Mookie Betts and the Dodgers, he did not suffer a serious injury after that collision. After the game, Betts further allayed fears about his status, saying that he only twisted his right ankle and thinks that the soreness is manageable enough to be much of a concern.

“I'm fine. It's just a little twisted ankle. It's good,” Mookie Betts said, per SportsNet LA. I really don't know what happened. I was just going to catch it then I turned around and he (Heyward) was sliding, by the time it was too late. But I mean, he did was he was supposed to do… We're lucky that we're okay.”
