The Washington Nationals placed closer Koda Glover on the 10-Day DL this afternoon with lower back stiffness, and reinstated Joe Blanton from the Disabled List.
Both Glover and Nationals’ skipper Dusty Baker expressed frustration after Saturday’s loss to the Texas Rangers in D.C., with the fact that the 24-year-old right-hander has struggled to stay healthy this season.
Glover missed time earlier this season with a recurrence of a problem with his left hip after he suffered a torn labrum in the hip late last season, but returned to claim the closer’s role.
