Drew Storen's injured thumb ended his season, but the absence of the closer-turned-set-up-man has given Washington Nationals' right-hander Blake Treinen an opportunity to show what he can do as a back end of the bullpen arm.
In an MLB Network Radio interview on Sunday, Washington Nationals' GM Mike Rizzo offered a fairly blunt take on the injury that ended Drew Storen's season.
Storen suffered a non-displaced fracture in his right thumb slamming the metal locker in his clubhouse stall closed after a particularly frustrating outing in a loss to the New York Mets two weeks back.
