Lile gave a thumbs-up as he headed out on the stretcher, according to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post.
Nationals manager Davey Martinez said Lile received a CAT scan of his lower back at a local hospital, per MASN's Mark Zuckerman. The skipper added the player had movement of his arms and legs.
The 21-year-old outfielder was drafted in the second round in 2021. He missed all of 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery and has yet to play above Single-A.
