The news on Kurt Suzuki’s injured elbow was relatively good, considering the veteran said he felt “tingling” and “zings” (medical terms) after he made a throw to second base in Saturday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves in SunTrust Park.
Reports after Sunday’s finale, which the Washington Nationals won, avoiding a sweep after dropping the first three with their NL East rivals, said the MRI on Suzuki’s elbow revealed a bit of inflammation, and the catcher is currently day-to-day, though the team did call up an additional backstop, Tres Barrera, to join them in Atlanta.
