The Washington Nationals got what sounds like the worst possible news on injured outfielder Kyle Schwarber.
Manager Dave Martinez announced that Schwarber has a “significant” hamstring strain, and the outfielder is expected to need more than ten days on the IL.

Martinez said it definitely won’t be a 10-day IL situation for Schwarber. Yikes

Unfortunately, the news isn’t totally unexpected given how bad Schwarber looked after suffering the injury on Friday night.
Schwarber was fresh off a month that saw him hit 16 home runs and carry Washington’s offense. The injury could not have come at a worse time for both him and the team. No wonder Max Scherzer described the team’s issues the way he did.
