Nationals Bullpen Hits Another Blow | Washington Nationals News

Nationals bullpen takes another hit as lefty reliever PJ Poulin goes on the injured list with a flexor strain, retroactive to Thursday — a blow to a unit already struggling with a 5.17 ERA. Poulin, who posted a stellar 2.70 ERA, was one of their best arms before the All-Star break. To fill the void, the team brought back Matt Krook on a Major League deal — a move Krook welcomed, noting he stayed ready during the break. To make room, Richard Lovelady was moved to the 60-day IL, though he’s been sidelined since late June anyway. With both Poulin and Brad Lord sidelined, the bullpen’s woes deepen.
