The Nationals have placed SP Stephen Strasburg on the 15-day DL with right elbow soreness. The extent of the injury is not yet known. AJ Cole has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take his place. (Mark Zuckerman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Strasburg has been rocked in three consecutive appearances - giving up 19 runs in just over 12 innings pitched. It was obvious something wasn't right the the star right-hander, who underwent Tommy John Surgery in 2010. Stay tuned for updates in regards to the severity of the injury, but be prepared to make a change sooner rather than later.
