WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Nationals activated RHP Casey Janssen and placed LHP Sammy Solis on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder inflammation.

Janssen, 33, missed the first 41 games with right shoulder inflammation. The reliever, who signed with the Nationals as a free agent in February, made six rehab appearances between Single-A Potomac and Double-A Harrisburg.

The veteran spent his eight seasons with Toronto, recording 90 saves. He went 3-3 with a 3.94 ERA last season.

Solis made five appearances with the Nationals, including his major league debut on April 30.
