WASHINGTON -- The Nationals' outfield absorbed another blow Wednesday morning when they placed outfielder Brian Goodwin on the disabled list with a left groin strain, retroactive to Aug. 14. In a corresponding move, the Nats selected the contract of outfielder Alejandro De Aza, who was signed in June to provide outfield depth, and moved Trea Turner to the 60-day DL to clear room on the 40-man roster.
Goodwin becomes the latest Nationals outfielder on a crowded DL. Their entire Opening Day starting outfield is sidelined -- right fielder Bryce Harper (hyperextended left knee), center fielder Adam Eaton (torn left ACL) and left fielder Jayson Werth (fractured left foot) -- along with Ryan Raburn and now Goodwin.
