Poulin’s Injury Update: Relief for Nationals | Washington Nationals News
Description
Good news for the Nationals’ bullpen: pitcher PJ Poulin’s MRI revealed only a minor flexor strain, not a torn UCL — meaning he’s likely back in 2-6 weeks. The 28-year-old, who’d been battling elbow discomfort and even pitched through it with meds, is relieved it’s not worse. Manager Blake Butera said they expected at least 15 days off, so this is a major boost. Poulin’s been stellar this season — 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA in 35 games, plus 3 saves and opener duties. To cover his absence, the team brought back Matt Krook on a Major League deal. They’ll reassess Poulin’s progress when they return to D.C. later this week.
