COACH FACES SEX CHARGES

-

Former Yankee outfielder Dustin Fowler has filed a lawsuit against the White Sox and the company that manages Guaranteed Rate Field for a serious knee injury he sustained while playing in Chicago last season.

Fowler was in right field for the Bombers in his MLB debut against the White Sox on June 29 when he collided with an unpadded electrical box along the right field wall.

He is claiming negligence on the part of the White Sox and the Illinois Sports Facility Authority for not “properly securing” the unpadded part of the wall he crashed into, according to ESPN.

The gruesome incident left Fowler with a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee and caused him to miss the rest of the season following emergency surgery. He was one of the Bombers’ top prospects, but after the injury Fowler was traded to the A’s as part of the Sonny Gray deal. —Nicholas Parco internatio­nal law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan, LLP.
