WASHINGTON —

Washington Nationals catcher Jesus Flores had an MRI exam Wednesday that confirmed he sprained his left ankle during a collision with Philadelphia's Chase Utley.

Flores was carted off the field after Utley attempted to steal home in the third inning Tuesday. Utley barreled into Floors while being tagged out, and Flores remained on the ground for several minutes.

The Nationals expect Flores to return this season. He is batting .256 with eight homers and leads the Nationals with 59 RBIs.
