Nationals place Stephen Drew on 15-Day DL with vertigo-like symptoms; recall Wilmer Difo

Washington Nationals' infielder Stephen Drew was placed on the 15-Day DL (retroactive to July 24th) with vertigo-like symptoms and the Nats recalled infielder Wilmer Difo from Double-A Harrisburg to take his place on the roster.

After Stephen Drew came through with a walk-off triple in his first at bat in over a week this past weekend, the veteran bench bat talked to reporters about the flu-like symptoms he'd been dealing with, which had him feeling completely wiped out.

Drew said that teammate Jonathan Papelbon was doing his best to boost his spirits and motivate him to recover as quickly as possible.
