Nationals place Wander Suero on 10-day injured list

The Washington Nationals have placed relief pitcher Wander Suero on the 10-day injured list.

What It Means:

With both Suero and Roenis Elias on the injured list, the Nationals could struggle for depth in their bullpen to start the season. Suero is expected to handle middle relief duties this season whenever he is available.

numberFire currently projects Suero to pitch 22.3 innings this season, but that number could drop with Suero's status now in doubt. If he is available by the start of the season, he is projected to pitch a 4.04 ERA with 25 strikeouts, 8 walks, and 2 home runs allowed.
