John Patterson (SP), WAS - Alert: HI
April 28, 2006
News: Nationals placed RHP John Patterson on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 23, with a strained flexor muscle in his right forearm.
Views: No word on how long Patterson will be out, but shouldn't be too far into May. There is still some reason for concern, because the Nationals originally thought the injury wouldn't keep Patterson out for long. In 4 starts this season, Patterson is 1-0 with 32 strikeouts, a 3.86 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP.
