Nationals reinstate Stephen Strasburg, place Dan Uggla on 15-Day DL with back spasms

Washington Nationals' starter Stephen Strasburg is back to start tonight's game against the Colorado Rockies. In order to make room on the roster, the Nats announced today that they were placing Dan Uggla on the 15-Day DL with lower back spasms.

As soon as last night's disheartening loss to the Rockies was over, Washington Nationals' skipper Matt Williams was on to the next game of three with Colorado in D.C.

"We had the lead, had it set up for our bullpen the way we want to have it set up and the guy that we want in there in the eighth inning for sure," he said.
