Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez announced this afternoon that the club was placing Sean Doolittle on the 10-Day IL with a right oblique strain and calling up lefty Ben Braymer to take Doolittle’s roster spot.
“We’re waiting to hear from the doctor,” on Doolittle, Martinez said, “but he definitely has a strain of an oblique. He’s going to see a doctor later on this afternoon and we’ll know more by the end of the game.
“It’s a pretty good strain. I”m not going to make any assumptions because I’m not a doctor, but he’s going to miss some time.
