WASHINGTON – Matt Adams was questionable for Tuesday night’s series opener against the Nationals after the Braves slugger left Sunday’s game with tightness in his right hamstring while running out a double.
Braves manager Brian Snitker said Adams would run some during batting practice Tuesday and see how the leg felt before a determination was made as to his availability to pinch-hit Tuesday. The backup left fielder/first baseman and pinch-hitter wouldn’t have been in Tuesday’s lineup anyway with the National pitching left-hander, Gio Gonzalez.
The Nationals will start right-handers Max Scherzer on Wednesday and Tanner Roark on Thursday in the remaining games of the series at Nationals Park.
