Nationals place OF Jayson Werth on DL with bruised foot

The Washington Nationals have placed outfielder Jayson Werth on the 10-day disabled list with a bruised left foot and promoted utility man Ryan Raburn from Triple-A Syracuse.

The Nationals announced the roster moves Monday before their series opener in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

Werth sat out Sunday's series finale in Oakland after he fouled a ball off his toe on Saturday. X-rays were negative, but he was on crutches and wearing a walking boot Sunday.

Werth fouled a ball off the same toe in spring training.

"Right now, it's not looking good," Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Sunday.
