The Nationals have placed left-handed reliever Sammy Solis on the 10-day disabled list with elbow inflammation as a corresponding move to recall right-handed starter Joe Ross, the club announced Wednesday.
Solis pitched one scoreless inning in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Braves, earning a hold, in what was his sixth outing of the year but first in six days. His fastball velocity has averaged 93.7 mph this year, per Statcast™, which is his trademark speed, but Solis has struggled to an 8.31 ERA in 4 1/3 innings.
On a related bullpen note, Shawn Kelley and Koda Glover will share closer duties for now, manager Dusty Baker said before Wednesday's game against the Braves.
