Washington Nationals' reliever Matt Belisle faced one batter in last night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies and retired that batter, but a right calf strain forced him from the mound. No word on if it will land him on the DL as well.
Washington Nationals' reliever Matt Belisle seemed to stumble as he pivoted after delivering the third pitch of his eighth inning at bat against Philadelphia Phillies' outfielder David Lough.
Lough lined the pitch to first, prompting the quick, abrupt turn by the right-hander. Once it was caught, by Nats' first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, Belisle walked around behind the mound, gauging the discomfort in his right calf.
