Kurt Suzuki left Game 3 of the World Series last night in Washington, D.C. after six innings behind the plate, with what Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez told reporters after the 4-1 loss Houston’s Astros was a hip issue.
“He felt something when he went to block that ball in his hip flexor,” Martinez explained.
“We don’t know the severity of it yet. We’ll know more tomorrow. But it is his right hip flexor.”
“His strength was good but we’ll see,” the second-year skipper continued.
“I don’t know if he’s going to get an MRI, I haven’t talked to [trainer] Paul [Lessard] yet or not about it.
