Nationals' Daylen Lile Out of Hospital with Back Injury After Flipping over Wall

Washington Nationals outfielder prospect Daylen Lile was released from the hospital after being stretchered from the field during a Saturday exhibition game in Fort Myers, Florida, according to ESPN.

Lile underwent a CT scan before being diagnosed with a lower-back contusion, according to manager Davey Martinez and ESPN.

Martinez added that Lile, now considered day-to-day, was "very lucky," according to MASN's Bobby Blanco.

Lile was attempting to catch a potential home run from Red Sox infielder Tyler Miller when he flipped backwards over the wall at JetBlue Park and landed headfirst.
