Manny aggravates left hammy, leaves game

Says he did it chasing down the last ball hit to him, a double into the leftfield corner by Troy Tulowitzki. Manny was due up second in the bottom of the inning, but Delwyn Young pinch hit for him, the first sign something was wrong. At first glance, this doesn’t appear to be anything major. On the other hand, it’s the second time in the three games he has been scheduled to play that he was either scratched from the lineup or left early because of this left-hamstring problem, which he admits is becoming a concern.
“Yeah, but you have to be patient,” he said. “What can I do? I come in early and do all my work to prepare for the season. I’ll just take it day by day.”
Manny is scheduled to play LF in tomorrow’s split-squad game against Seattle, but that obviously is in jeopardy now.
