As of Wednesday morning, Washington’s GM and President of Baseball Ops Mike Rizzo was still hoping for some good news from the MRI on Lane Thomas’s left knee.
Thomas slid awkwardly into second base on a stolen base attempt on Tuesday night, then he left the game a few innings later.
Thomas told reporters the knee stiffened up on as the game went on last night, so he made the decision to leave what was a tie game when he left the field.
• Thomas’s take on the injury: “My cleat kind of just hung on the outside, so just kind of an awkward slide and then my weight obviously has to go on top of it, so a little awkward.
