Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte was removed from the Washington game in the top of the first inning Friday after suffering an apparent hamstring injury while running out a double.
Marte doubled off the center field fence with one out but pulled up as he approached second base and was replaced by pinch-runner Garrett Hampson.
Marte, who signed a six-year, $116.5 million contract extension Thursday, missed time last season with ankle and back injuries that limited him to 136 games, although he still finished third in NL MVP voting.
He missed time with hamstring injuries in 2019, 2021, and 2022.
Hampson remained in the game at second base.
In seven games this season, Marte batted .320 with one RBI and six walks.
