WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Nationals right-hander Michael Soroka went on the 15-day injured list Friday with a strained biceps in his pitching arm after hurting himself in his first start with the club.
The 27-year-old Soroka left his start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday with what he called “a feeling that shouldn't be there” after spiking a slider in the sixth inning.
Soroka gave up four runs and took the loss in Washington's 5-2 setback that day, part of a 1-5 start to the season for the Nationals entering Friday night's home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
