The triple-A Buffalo Bisons had their road game against the Syracuse Mets cancelled on Friday night after catcher Payton Henry was carted off the field.

In the bottom of the seventh, Mets third baseman Pablo Reyes swung through a first-pitch fastball and hit Henry on the back of his head with his back swing. According to the Syracuse broadcast on MiLB TV, Henry went down immediately and was visibly shaking in his arm/hand area.

The broadcast also said that medical officials were able to roll Henry from his back onto his side to take him off the field.

The Bisons said that Henry has been taken to a Syracuse-area hospital and is alert and responsive.

The team will provide further updates on Saturday.

The Mets were leading 4-2, and the game will go down as completed.

Henry was signed by the Toronto Blue Jays as a minor-league free agent in the off-season. The 26-year-old appeared in MLB games with the Miami Marlins in 2021 and 2022.

Buffalo Bisons outfielder Payton Henry is in stable condition and alert after being carted off the field during a recent game. The incident occurred during the third inning when Henry collided with the outfield wall while attempting to make a catch.

Medical personnel quickly attended to Henry on the field before he was taken off on a stretcher. The team later confirmed that he was responsive and had movement in all of his extremities.

The 24-year-old outfielder was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation and tests. The team is awaiting the results of those tests to determine the extent of Henry’s injuries and the next steps in his recovery process.

Despite the scary moment, the Buffalo Bisons organization and fans are relieved to hear that Payton Henry is doing well and is alert and responsive. The team has expressed their support for Henry and his family during this difficult time.

Injuries are unfortunately a part of sports, but it is always a relief when a player is able to walk away from a scary incident relatively unscathed. The Buffalo Bisons will continue to monitor Henry’s progress and provide updates on his condition as they become available.

In the meantime, fans are encouraged to send their well wishes and support to Payton Henry as he recovers from this frightening incident. The team is hopeful that he will be back on the field soon, doing what he loves and entertaining fans with his talent and skill.
