Pirates manager Derek Shelton and Cubs manager Craig Counsell alerted the umpire crew of the situation immediately after it occurred.

"Even though it's 350 feet away or whatever it is, I mean the fact of how it went down and then laying motionless while the play is going on, I mean Craig saw it, I saw it,” Shelton said after the game, According to ESPN. “We both got out there…it’s extremely unfortunate. That’s an understatement.

“Truly hate what happened tonight," McCutchen posted on X late Wednesday. "Cant help but think about that guy, his family and friends. I pray tonight for him. Let us think about his loved ones and hug our families a little tighter tonight. I hope he pulls thru. May God Bless you all. Good night.”
