Dave Martinez Returns To Nationals

By Jeff Todd | September 20, 2019 at 11:17am CDT

Sept. 20: The Nationals announced Friday that Martinez will return to the dugout for tonight’s game.

Sept. 17: Martinez has been released from the hospital and is resting at home, general manager Mike Rizzo told reporters Tuesday (Twitter link via Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post). He’s waiting to be cleared to travel and won’t join the club for its current series.

Sept. 16: Nationals manager Dave Martinez, who left yesterday’s game after experiencing chest discomfort, remains in Washington, D.C. for further testing, as MLB.com’s Jamal Collier was among those to report. MLBTR extends its best wishes to Martinez for an optimistic prognosis and speedy recovery.

It isn’t known how long Martinez will be out of action, but he did not travel with the team to St. Louis. Martinez, who was was hospitalized as a precautionary measure, underwent an exploratory cardiac catheterization procedure. He is continuing to receive medical evaluation.

For the most part, then, the Nationals are simply awaiting word from Martinez and his doctors. Bench coach Chip Hale, a former manager himself, will fill in while Martinez is sidelined.

With the Nats trying to close out a postseason appearance, the hope certainly seems to be that Martinez will return to uniform in relatively short order — though obviously his personal health will take priority. Hale says that he spoke with his colleague and found him to be in good spirits; indeed, Martinez texted a lineup to his temporary fill-in.

    Thoughts with Dave and his family from a Braves lifer. Hopefully it’s something minor and he can get back with the team before Wildcard game.

    I’m sure the bullpen is to blame

    A good guy. But not a manager. Good coach. He will find a coaching job next year after he is let go at the end of the year

      I really don’t think Davie is going anywhere. Right now he has the clubhouse support (just look at how the team reacted when he returned. His performance last year during a worst case scenario season as far as the Nationals health and his level headed approach this season have gone a long way to solidify his position..

      Good managers are not growing on trees. I personally believe the Nats made a mistake when they fired baker (though I do not know what was going on behind the scenes. But Martinez approach has been spot on since he arrived.

    Did they moderate these comments from before? I posted something about my uncle and Neil Armstrong going through this same surgery and I don’t see any of that here.

        Haha! That’s right. It was you. I came back kinda hard cause my uncs just died the same way. Seems like Davie made it out alright so whatever. He coaches the Nationals and I’m a Braves fan anyway. I never heard that Sandberg story before you brought it up. What the heck happened there? When did it happen? I know Davie used to be a bench player for the Braves long ago but I hadn’t even heard his name again until he became manager of the Nats.

    It was 1988 when it came to a boil. i think it was 88. Palmeiro was nailing her also. At the time everyone thought Cubs traded Palmeiro because they liked Grace better. But that was not the case. Media, writers twisted it that way is all.
