Stephen Strasburg (oblique) placed on 15-day DL
Stephen Strasburg has been sent to the DL on what has been diagnosed as a strained left oblique. The Nat's ace was pulled from the mound by manager Matt Williams with one out left in the 4th inning in yesterday's game.
What It Means:
After the game, Williams told the media "Strasburg felt tightness in his right side...we're not gonna take a chance there." Strasburg has already been the on DL once this year and will now miss a few more weeks. In return, the Nationals have called up RHP Taylor Jordan from Triple-A Syracuse.
