Joe Nathan placed on 15-day DL (elbow strain)
by Nathan Burns | Thu, Apr 9th 12:00am EDT
Joe Nathan has had a perfect season thus far. One game. One batter. One strikeout. One save. Unfortunately, on the final pitch of that strikeout he "felt it (elbow) grab," Coach Ausmus said. Nathan felt discomfort as he tried to play catch Wednesday. That was enough to shut him down for 15 days. (Chris McCosky)
Fantasy Impact:
Soria is the closer now. He could pitch perfectly and still relinquish his temporary role because of Brad Ausmus' loyalty. Soria is still a good stash once Nathan returns as it is certain he will get another opportunity to close through injury, poor performance, or rest.
