Denard Span was honest Tuesday night when he talked about the right knee injury that caused him to miss the Washington Nationals’ doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays.
“I’m trying not to worry,” he said, standing in front of his locker after Washington’s 7-3 loss in the nightcap. “I’m a big worrier. I’ve had a couple injuries already this offseason, and spring training, so I’m trying not to worry myself. I’m just trusting what the training staff and the doctors have told me, and they said it should be OK.”
Span first injured the knee in Chicago last week while tracking a ball and slipping on the outfield grass.
