J-A-K-S-O-N [DING!]:
When Davey Martinez spoke to reporters on Saturday afternoon, he didn’t have definitive word on the results for Yan Gomes, after the catcher, who tweaked his left oblique in the series opener on Friday night, went for an MRI in San Francisco.
“We have nothing yet. He’s getting an MRI as we speak. So hopefully he gets back here soon and we’ll know something after the game,” the manager explained.
As for a replacement on the roster, since it seemed likely Gomes would at the very least not play on Saturday, Washington’s fourth-year skipper acknowledged that the Nationals had an option on the way to join them in Oracle Park.
