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

LA Times  

Martinez has had all sorts of injuries in his 13-year career, but none as perplexing as the one that knocked the Dodgers designated hitter out of the last two Sunday games. “Nobody knows, including myself,” Martinez said when asked before Wednesday night’s game against Oakland if he knew exactly what his injury is. “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. “I came up and couldn’t even walk,” Martinez said. “It was kind of surprising, but you never know what somebody’s going through in their life, man, so you take their answers, and life goes on,” Betts said.
