Joe Ross had a little tightness in his forearm, Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez announced on a Zoom call back on July 8th, so the right-hander went on the 10-Day IL before the team had time off for the All-Star break.
“He has a little inflammation in his right forearm,” Martinez said while the team was on the road in San Diego before the break. “So as we talked before with him not pitching all of last year, we just want to be very cautious and keep an eye on this thing. So, we put him on the IL to get some of the swelling down, and hopefully it’s just one start that he misses.
