Angels prospect kicked out, seriously hurt in accident

Rio Foster, an outfielder in the Angels Minor League system, is currently in a serious condition following a car accident that occurred in Washington state last week. Despite being recently recognized as the Northwest League Player of the Month with High-A Tri-City, Foster was involved in the crash as a passenger, according to MLB.com. The Angels released a statement on Friday informing that Foster is receiving critical medical care at a local hospital. The team has asked for the support of the Angels Community to keep Foster and his family in their thoughts during this challenging period. Additional information regarding the incident, including the injuries sustained by Rio Foster, has been shared on a GoFundMe page established to assist with medical expenses. It is reported that Foster suffered a traumatic brain injury, as well as skull and facial fractures, and is currently in stable but critical condition. The page also mentions that Foster has undergone brain surgery and will require further procedures and physical therapy. The community has expressed that Foster, aged 22 and selected by the Angels in the 16th round of the 2023 MLB draft, is a kind and respectful individual facing an unfortunate situation.
