Boston Red Sox star J.D. Martinez was removed from Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals after suffering a twisted ankle.
Manager Alex Cora told reporters postgame, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, that he's unsure whether Martinez will be ready for the team's American League Wild Card Game against the New York Yankees on Tuesday.
Martinez recently dealt with back issues that caused him to be scratched from the lineup prior to Boston's game against the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 10.
Any absence by Martinez is going to cause problems for the Red Sox.
