Washington’s top prospect Victor Robles injured his right elbow on a diving play last week in Rochester, NY, and Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez offered an update on the 20-year-old outfielder when Robles was in the nation’s capital last week to see the team’s doctors for an official diagnosis.
“He has a hyperextension of his right elbow, and he’s really, really swollen, so they’re going to reevaluate him on Monday, when the swelling goes down,” Martinez explained.
He also said that he’d seen the video of the incident, and it didn’t look good, noting he’d had a hard time watching the whole thing, so in that sense, the initial diagnosis could be seen as relatively good news.
