The Washington Nationals have placed right-hander Joe Ross on the 60-day injured list today, in order to create roster space for their now-official signing of Sean Doolittle. Ross underwent surgery last week to have a bone spur removed from his throwing elbow, and Nats GM Mike Rizzo told reporters.
Rizzo also said that Ross was expected to miss 6-8 weeks of action, which isn’t great because over the past fives seasons Ross has missed significant time over the last five seasons due to injuries.
Ross had Tommy John surgery in 2017, and his 2021 campaign was cut short in August when a partial UCL tear was discovered in his throwing arm.
