A day after acquiring two relievers from the Oakland Athletics, the Washington Nationals made more changes to the bullpen.
The Nationals placed Koda Glover on the 60-day disabled list Monday and promoted Jacob Turner. The move to send Glover to the DL rules out any potential return for him until the middle of August.
Glover has been on the DL since June 11 with back and shoulder injuries. The 24-year-old reliever began throwing on a flat surface shortly before the All-Star break, but now will be out for an even longer period of time.
Glover emerged in the season as the Nationals’ primary closer after Blake Treinen squandered away the role at the beginning of the year.
