Howie Kendrick leaves field on cart due to right leg injury

The Washington Nationals suffered a potentially significant injury when outfielder Howie Kendrick went to the ground after catching Max Muncy's sacrifice fly to deep left field in the eighth inning of Saturday afternoon's 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Kendrick, who's hitting a team-leading .303, put no weight on his right leg and was taken off the field on a cart.

Manager Davey Martinez said Kendrick's injury was to the lower part of his right leg, but he didn't have any other details. Kendrick had left the stadium to get an MRI before the game was over.
