The Washington Nationals must finalize their 26-player roster by March 27, 2025, but recent injuries, specifically LHP DJ Herz's placement on the 15-day IL due to a UCL sprain, complicate their plans. Herz, demoted to Triple-A recently, wasn't expected on the Opening Day roster but his injury challenges the starter depth. Manager Dave Martinez remains cautious about Derek Law's potential IL status and the team has filled its 40-man roster with Colin Poche's addition. The bullpen remains fluid with players like Brad Lord, Orlando Ribalta, Jackson Rutledge, and Eduardo Salazar vying for spots.
"It's still early. We don't have to make those kind of roster decisions yet on [Derek Law]."
"LHP DJ Herz had been placed on the 15-day Major League Injured List with a left elbow UCL sprain, complicating the starter's depth for the Nationals."
