Jason Bergmann To The DL

Washington Nationals starter Jason Bergmann is headed to the DL with elbow sorness. When it rains, it pours. The Nationals top 3 starters are all on the DL, with Bergmann joining John Patterson and Shaun Hill. The 25 year old made a name for himself in his last start, taking a no-hitter into the 8th inning. Unfortunately, ESPN flashed over to that inning, and his next pitch was deposited over the right field wall by Brian McCann.

Fantasy Impact: I'm sure he was picked up in many leagues after that start, or possibly before given he was posting solid ratios all year long. It's a shame as he was pitching very well prior to the soreness, so hopefully it's nothing major and he'll avoid surgery. I don't believe he's worth stashing, but keep an eye on him if he returns and has a good start or two.
