Nationals' Jacob Young Exits With Bruised Right Index Finger

Jacob Young, outfielder for the Washington Nationals, exited the team's game against the Minnesota Twins due to a bruised right index finger sustained while attempting a bunt. After being examined by a trainer, Young was replaced by Alex Call, who completed the at-bat with an RBI single and took over in centerfield. The Nationals diagnosed Young's injury as a right index finger contusion, and if Young requires additional recovery time, Call is expected to receive more starts in centerfield. Prior to the injury, Young was batting .245 with a .314 on-base percentage, 18 RBIs, and 10 steals over 78 games.
