From PBUC: effective "March 17, 1993, all Minor League Baseball umpires shall abide by the M.L.B. policy regarding incidents in which a player begins bleeding during a game. As the policy states, "It is important for umpires to know that some precautions will be taken that may cause brief delays in a game. For example, if a garment(s) is penetrated by blood or other potentially infectious materials, the garment(s) shall be removed immediately or as soon as feasible."

It should be noted that it is highly possible that the blood on his sock was only visible to the FOX cameras. Unless you're looking for it, as an umpire, I probably wouldn't see it, being that most of it was covered by his stirrup.
