Davey Martinez had some unfortunate news to share before he fielded any questions in his pregame press conference with reporters on Tuesday afternoon. Martinez joked with press members gathered at Nationals Park, then adopted a serious tone when it was time to give the news.
“I’m gonna start off by saying that we’re going to shut Cade [Cavalli] down for two weeks,” the fifth-year manager said.
“He threw in the game, came back the next day, was going to do his routine, he was playing catch, after about 10 throws, he said he felt tight in the shoulder area,” Martinez explained.
