Dodgers first baseman Nomar Garciaparra left Thursday night's NL playoff game against the New York Mets in the sixth inning after re-injuring his left quadriceps.
His status for Game 3 Saturday was uncertain.
Garciaparra strained his quadriceps Sept. 15 during a game against San Diego, and hurt it again against the Mets trying to beat out an infield grounder leading off the sixth inning.
I was watching the game on Fox. Nomar was slow getting out of the batter's box. And it hardly looked like he was trying hard to be out the grounder. The announcers even stated that he was told to take it easy on routine plays like that. So if just jogging down the first baseline can aggravate the injury, that's definitely not goods news for the Dodgers.
