Stone Garrett suffered a broken left fibula and a torn ligament in his ankle on a play at the wall in Yankee Stadium late in August of 2023, but he was back on the field this past spring. He’d worked hard over the winter to have a shot at picking up where he left off before the injury.
“He’s worked really hard,” Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez told reporters after Garrett got the call to return to the majors when Andrés Chaparro went on the Paternity List this week.
“That first injury — when that injury occurred, it was pretty nasty,” the skipper said of the gruesome break.
