Nationals outfielder Michael Morse has been removed from Tuesday afternoon's spring training baseball game against the Atlanta Braves, according to the team's media relations twitter account.
Michael Morse was removed for today's lineup at ATL due to a right lat strain. He is listed as day-to-day.

Any injury is cause for concern, but this doesn't sound like its cause for any undue stress. If the injury lingers after his return and seriously inhibits his offensive production the the Nationals will have serious cause for concern. The hope now is that he comes back fully healthy and able to give full production.
