Twins outfield prospect LaMonte Wade avoided major injury after a harrowing collision during an Arizona Fall League game on Saturday night.

Wade, 23, was diagnosed with a concussion but his “extremities are all functioning,” according to Paul Kuo, a spokesman for the Ballengee Group sports agency. X-rays on Wade’s chest and back were negative, Kuo said in an email, and a full recovery is expected.

Wade, playing right field, laid out for an attempted catch of an Austin Riley fly ball in the second inning and crashed head-first into the right hip area of Surprise Saguaros center fielder Oscar Mercado of the St. Louis Cardinals. The game was delayed for several minutes as Wade, 23, lay in the outfield grass. Related Articles Twins clinch playoff berth with victory over Cubs

Eventually he was removed on a stretcher and gave a thumb’s-up sign to the crowd at Surprise Stadium as he left the field. An AFL spokesman announced that Wade never lost consciousness and was stabilized after a blow to the head and neck area, which took place during a game shown live on MLB Network.

Wade was released from the hospital and returned to the stadium before the game ended.

A ninth-round pick out of the University of Maryland in 2015, Wade signed for $163,800 but has climbed the Twins’ prospect chart with a keen batting eye and the ability to play all three outfield spots. He played just 17 games in right field at Double-A Chattanooga during the regular season but had seen the bulk of his playing time there this fall in the prospect-heavy AFL.

In 19 games Wade is hitting .238 in Arizona with a .351 on-base percentage and six extra-base hits (two homers) in 63 at-bats. The six-week season is down to its final week.
