Nats 3B Senzel breaks thumb, out 3 to 4 weeks
Written by I Dig SportsCINCINNATI -- Washington Nationals third baseman Nick Senzel was scratched from the Opening Day lineup after breaking a thumb during batting practice Thursday.
Senzel fractured his right thumb on a bad hop and could be out three to four weeks, according to manager Dave Martinez.
"It's awful," Martinez said. "He was in a good spot, and we were in a good spot with him. He was excited. It was just a freak accident. We're going to miss him."
Senzel was signed to a $2 million, one-year contract after playing parts of five seasons with the Reds.
Ildemaro Vargas replaced Senzel in the lineup. The Reds beat the Nationals 8-2.
