As if the Washington Nationals didn’t already have enough injury concerns on their hands, things just got a whole lot worse in the nation’s capital. All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee after landing awkwardly trying to catch an errant throw from Ryan Zimmerman during the sixth inning of Monday’s 14-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Ramos, who is set to hit free agency this winter after playing the best baseball of his career this season, will miss the rest of the season and the entire playoffs with the injury.
