Nationals lefty DJ Herz goes on the injured list with a sprained ligament in his pitching elbow

LHP DJ Herz was placed on the 15-day Major League Injured List due to a left elbow UCL sprain, though he wasn't expected to be on the Washington Nationals' Opening Day roster, which must be submitted by noon ET on Thursday, March 27, 2025.
Herz's injury impacts the team's starting pitching depth, especially given he was recently demoted to Triple-A.
The Nationals are also dealing with other roster decisions, including Riley Adams and Andrew Knizner competing for the bench catcher's spot, Drew Millas and Nasim Nunez being optioned to Triple-A, and uncertainty surrounding Amed Rosario's knee injury and Derek Law's potential placement on the 15-day IL.
According to manager Dave Martinez, the final bullpen and bench decisions remain uncertain as of this weekend, despite rumors and speculation.
The Nats Report identifies Adams, Knizner, Juan Yepez, and Jose Tena as potential final bench selections, though health and contract status, among other factors, play a significant role in the final roster construction.
