Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez left the Nats’ dugout in the sixth inning of Sunday afternoon’s series finale with the Atlanta Braves, and, bench coach Chip Hale told reporters after the game, was taken to a local hospital.
“He wasn’t feeling good,” Hale explained, without offering any specifics as to what the issue was for the Nationals’ second-year skipper.
“So just for precautionary reasons they took him to the hospital just to see what’s going on, but we’re expecting everything will be good,” Hale added.
Asked if this was the first time the issue came up, Hale said that Martinez didn’t feel good to start and it got worse as the day went along.
