Over the course of a Major League Baseball season, injuries are inevitable. Every team has to deal with them and some are just quite frankly more lucky than others. The Washington Nationals have been a relatively healthy team this year, but their rotation has suffered the injury bug of late. Stephen Strasburg is currently on the 15-day DL with an elbow issue, and Joe Ross is still yet to return from a shoulder injury that has kept him out since June.
Yesterday, Giolito had another turn to try to be the first young starter to solidify his spot in the rotation.
