Nationals' Jayson Werth: Leaves with back tightness

Werth left Friday's game with back tightness, the Washington Post's Jorge Castillo reports.

Analysis:

Manager Dusty Baker said he simply didn't want to risk Werth's back issue turning into something worse, so it seems to be precautionary. He went 0-for-3 prior to exiting. It would not be surprising if Werth sat out Saturday and possibly Sunday as well in preparation for the postseason.
