Looks vertical to me. It would make sense that the original picture would have him catching a pop up since Dunn's a pitcher and he's probably not diving for many fly balls.
As for the arm injury idea... I doubt he could stretch out like that if he couldn't lift his arm over his head.
Edit: Actually I guess he was no longer pitching in those years... still an infielder is more likely to be catching pop ups.
