Texas Rangers play-by-play announcer Dave Barnett 'botched' a call on Monday night in San Diego that will cost him at least two games.
During the eighth inning, Barnett said a runner was on "fifth" base after a "botched robbery." He then mentioned a "henchman" before the broadcast went silent for several moments.
On Tuesday, the Rangers issued a statement that said Barnett will be evaluated over the "next few days."
The team said Barnett believes he's had a recurrence of migraine headaches.
