The Nationals have placed left-hander DJ Herz on the 15-day injured list following the revelation of a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. This decision follows his recent option to Triple-A, which has now been revoked due to concerns stemming from testing in major league camp. The injury raises alarm bells for the team, as UCL sprains often result in surgeries like Tommy John. Previously noted for his solid debut season, Herz has struggled during spring training, raising further worries about his health and performance.
The Nationals announced this morning that left-hander DJ Herz has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.
While the team hasn't announced a formal timetable or treatment plan, it's an ominous injury that could potentially sideline Herz for the entire season.
Herz has experienced a dead arm throughout camp and saw his velocity drop this spring, which adds to the level of concern regarding his injury.
Despite a successful debut season, Herz's spring training performance raised red flags, leading to concerns about his health ahead of the new season.
