Maybin then adjusted his slide too late and dragged his right leg awkwardly behind him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">&#8220;As soon as I slid, I felt something like a little pop, and I was just uneasy about it,&#8221; Maybin said. &#8220;It was just an awkward play. I thought I heard contact, and looked for the ball, and then I realized there was going to be a play. At the last minute I thought, &#8216;You&#8217;ve got to get down,&#8217; and unfortunately my leg got caught behind me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">The Angels&#8217; training staff came to his aid, and a grimacing Maybin was helped to the dugout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">An MRI exam revealed the sprained ligament. The injury typically requires two to four weeks of recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">&#8220;I&#8217;m glad that the results are probably the best that they could have been,&#8221; Maybin said. &#8220;I&#8217;m a pretty quick healer. Just got to stay positive.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Maybin began the night batting .236 in his debut season with the Angels.
