From Friday's Link Report - this is why we note such things, wish it weren't so:

"Still just 17 years old, Venezuelan LHP Santiago Martinez now has a 19-to-3 K-to-BB mark through three appearances. After pitching five, then four, innings in his first two outings, he was lifted with two outs in the 3rd here, immediately after retiring two batters, the last on a strikeout. Hopefully the young man is OK."

Nothing serious, just the organization being cautious with some soreness.  The hope is for Martinez to be back on the mound within two weeks.

Even if it’s a significant sprain, that’s better than what it appeared for Akil Baddoo

Kind of shocking that he reacted like that to an ankle sprain though maybe it's just frustration to finally getting in rhythm after a long injury absence to just get injured again.

If one of those "high" ankle sprains, a more significant rehab process. Of course, we don't have the definitive word. 

Though I've never seen someone suffer an Achilles tear without going to the ground, so in a way, that was promising at the time.
