Joe Ross Goes On Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
3 years agoThe Washington Nationals placed starting pitcher Joe Ross (elbow) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with right elbow inflammation and recalled right-hander Ryne Harper from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. It's bad timing for the Nationals and fantasy managers, as Ross had a 2.31 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 39 innings over his last six starts. Manager Dave Martinez is hoping that Ross will wind up missing just one start with the All-Star break coming next week. Overall, the 28-year-old righty is 5-8 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 91 strikeouts in 87 1/3 innings over 16 starts. Paolo Espino will make his fifth start of the season against the San Francisco Giants on Friday. Espino has good numbers this year, but he has a low strikeout rate and is due for some regression, so he'll be a shaky deep-league or DFS streaming option.
