Nats to put RHP Hellickson on DL with sore wrist

WASHINGTON -- The struggling Washington Nationals have lost another pitcher to injury.

Starter Jeremy Hellickson will be placed on the disabled list after an MRI revealed a sprain to his right wrist area. Although the Nationals have yet to officially announce the move, manager Davey Martinez revealed that because of the severity of the injury, Hellickson would miss at least one start and therefore is headed to the DL.
