WASHINGTON, D..C.: Jose Lobaton took a slider off his left ankle early in Thursday’s series finale with the Atlanta Braves, and left the game after initially trying to walk it off.
Pedro Severino took over behind the plate for Washington’s backup backstop, and Nationals’ skipper Dusty Baker told reporters after what ended up a 5-2 win that Lobaton might miss some time since he got hit on an ankle that was already an issue for the veteran catcher.
