Nats place Stephen Strasburg on DL with elbow injury, call up Cole
Just hours before Stephen Strasburg was set to face the Orioles in the series opener in Baltimore, the right-hander was instead placed on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness. A.J. Cole will start in his place Monday night after being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. For Strasburg, this comes on the heels of the worst start of his career when he gave up nine earned runs in just 1 2/3 innings at the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.
