Josh Rogers made his second start of the season last night in PNC Park, in the spot Aníbal Sánchez was supposed to fill before he got off the plane from West Palm Beach, FL to D.C. with a cervical nerve impingement that landed the veteran starter on the 10-Day IL earlier this month.
Sánchez, 38, took a year away from the game in 2021, but returned to the Nationals he was with in 2019-20 this winter and made the club out of Spring Training, but there wasn’t a lot of information on how he has been progressing since landing on the Injured List.
