The Washington Nationals had utility player Nick Senzel penciled in as a starter for the season opener. But the projected starting third baseman’s debut with Washington was put on hold after Senzel fractured his right thumb during pregame warmups.
Senzel was fielding ground balls during batting practice when he injured his thumb. Senzel did make an appearance on the field shortly after the game against the Cincinnati Reds.
The game also marked Senzel’s return to face the team he played for the first five seasons of his MLB career.
Senzel inked a one-year contract with the Nationals in the offseason.
