Nationals 3B Yunel Escobar leaves game with apparent wrist injury
Wednesday afternoon provided a matinee treat for the fans in Washington D.C.as their first place Nationals play host to the second place New York Mets. Elias in Platoon than he did a baseball player. 331 among Nats regulars, swung at an inside pitch by Noah Syndergaard and lost grip of his bat in the process. Then he took a long, tortured fall to the ground, where he remained for some time.
Escobar would stay in for one more pitch, one that he fouled off. But after that he felt something and immediately dropped his bat and walked to the dugout. Escobar would leave the game with an injury. He has hit leadoff much of the year but also hit cleanup a few games to try and give right fielder Bryce Harper some protection in the Nationals’ lineup. On June 26, he exited a game against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit on the left hand by a pitch and missed the next two games. 322 with five home runs, 30 RBIs and a. 367 on-base percentage. We’re here to discuss how Syndergaard may have murdered Washington Nationals infielder Yunel Escobar with an inside fastball.
