Back on April 20th, the Washington Nationals placed 35-year-old, 11-year veteran reliever Sean Doolittle on the 10-Day IL with what the team described as a left elbow sprain.
It was a tough blow for Doolittle, who signed on to return to D.C. after a year away from the team he pitched for from 2017-20.
Talking to reporters before the second of three with the Colorado Rockies in Coors Field on Wednesday, Nats’ manager Davey Martinez talked about the decision to shift Doolittle over to the 60-Day IL after he had a PRP injection in his left elbow.
