In his post game Zoom call with reporters on Sunday, Davey Martinez revealed that veteran infielder Alcides Escobar was unavailable in the game after a hit-by-pitch on his wrist in the series with the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park last week.
“He got an MRI on his wrist,” Martinez explained, after the wrist became an issue a few days after the HBP.
“It swelled up pretty good on him,” the manager said.
“Everything came back negative, but he had some significant swelling, they actually had to drain it, so he’s real sore, he felt better today, so we’ll see how he feels tomorrow.
