Shortstop Trea Turner was not in the Washington Nationals starting lineup on Tuesday, a day after drawing the ire of manager Dave Martinez for failing to run out of the batter's box after a pitch hit his bat and landed in fair territory.
"I actually thought the ball hit him in the hand," Martinez said Monday night after a 6-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. "(The umpire) said he bunted the ball. I was like, well why would he walk off the field? In that moment, we are trying to win a ball game.
