Mystery injury forces Dodgers' J.D. Martinez to sit out against A's

designated hitter out of the last two Sunday games. This injury, which is producing tightness in his left hamstring and groin, has stumped the panel.

“The same thing happened in Texas right before the game, boom. We’re trying to figure out what’s causing it, what’s triggering it. The MRIs look good, so I think it might be some kind of fatigue or something.” Even with Monday’s day off, Martinez probably will sit out the three-game series against the Athletics. He hit in the cage Wednesday and plans to take batting practice on the field Thursday.“It’s hard to pinpoint, but I think the epicenter is the back, which is kind of manifesting itself in the hamstrings and the groin area,” manager Dave Roberts said. “He will probably do more of a full workout [Thursday], so best-case scenario is he could potentially be available [Thursday night].

“I was watching video for like two seconds, I got up, and it grabbed right away,” Martinez said. “I took the next day off, and it just went away. I played the next four days and didn’t feel it at all.”
