The Washington Nationals made a few moves this afternoon. Denard Span was placed on the 15-Day DL. Jordan Zimmermann was placed on the Paternity list. Aaron Barrett was reinstated from the DL and Wilmer Difo was called up from Double-A
As expected, Denard Span was officially placed on the 15-Day DL with "back tightness" this afternoon and Wilmer Difo was called up from Double-A Harrisburg to take the injured outfielder's place on the Washington Nationals' roster.
Span, 31, has been dealing with back spasms for the last month which first became a problem during a June 7th game against the Chicago Cubs in the nation's capital.
