After tweaking groin in regular-season finale, Sosa exits Game 2 of NL Wild Card Series

Edmundo Sosa exited the ninth inning of Game 2 in the National League Wild Card Series after aggravating a groin issue he first sustained during the regular-season finale on Sunday. Despite initial assurances from both the player and interim manager Don Mattingly that he was healthy enough for the postseason, Sosa pulled up lame following a leadoff single and was lifted for pinch-runner Derek Hill.

Hill stayed in the contest in right field, prompting a defensive reshuffle that moved Bryce Harper to first base and shifted Alec Bohm over to third. The sequence unfolded in a 3-3 tie during the ninth frame, cutting short an afternoon where Sosa had already attempted to play through persistent physical discomfort.
