In hindsight, some of Jackson Tetreault’s struggles in his July 2nd start make more sense. He was apparently pitching injured. Tetreault was placed on the 15-day Injured List (retroactive to July 3) with a stress fracture of the right scapula before the start of play Monday morning.
Following Tetreault’s outing against the Miami Marlins in D.C., in which he gave up four hits, five walks, and four runs, all earned, in a four-inning, 84-pitch, 44-strike start, skipper Davey Martinez raised questions about what he’d seen from the 26-year-old right-hander, who was called up to make his MLB debut back on June 14th, and performed well enough to earn the spot in the rotation he filled over the last few weeks.
