"National Team Adds RHP Michael Soroka (biceps) to Disabled Roster"
The Nationals have placed right-handed pitcher Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list on Friday due to a right biceps strain.
Soroka, who made his debut with the Nationals on Monday against Toronto, had a rough outing with four runs and five hits allowed in five-plus innings. He left the game in the sixth inning due to biceps cramping, ending with three strikeouts and one walk in the 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
The 27-year-old Soroka signed a one-year deal worth $9 million with Washington in December.
