WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals have put pitcher Stephen Strasburg back on the 15-day disabled list, this time with a strained left oblique.
The NL East leaders made the move before Sunday night’s game against San Francisco. Right-hander Taylor Jordan was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.
Strasburg left Saturday’s game against the Giants after 3 2-3 scoreless innings because of tightness in his left side.
Strasburg missed nearly four weeks earlier this season with neck tightness. In three starts since coming off the DL, the 26-year-old righty was 2-0 with a 1.15 ERA.
Overall, Strasburg is 5-5 with a 5.16 ERA in 13 starts.
