Nationals staffer taken off field on stretcher prior to Wednesday's game

A Nationals staffer was taken off the field on a stretcher during Washington's batting practice prior to Wednesday's game at Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies. 

We don't yet know the name of the staffer, or what may have caused this seeming medical incident: 

There appears to be a serious medical situation on the field right now during Washington Nationals batting practice. It appears someone collapsed and they are attending to him. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/WTwCEwH2DF
