The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Joan Adon and placed right-handed pitcher Reed Garrett on the 15-day Injured List (retroactive to July 6) with right biceps inflammation on Thursday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
Adon, 23, will start Thursday for the Nationals. He last started for Triple-A Rochester on June 22 vs. Syracuse, tossing 5.0 innings of four-hit ball. He allowed one unearned run with three strikeouts and zero walks in that start.
Garrett, 29, pitched to an 8.22 ERA in six games out of Washington’s bullpen.
