Kyle McGowin landed on the Injured List back on July 11th with a strained right biceps, and he was off the mound in the majors until August 24th, two days after he was reinstated. He made five appearances out of the pen upon returning, giving up two hits and one run in 4 1⁄3 innings pitched, but the 29-year-old right-hander felt something was off during a recent throwing session, and a subsequent MRI revealed a UCL sprain in the reliever’s right elbow.
So, this afternoon the Nationals announced that McGowin is going back on the 10-Day IL as they send the results of the MRI to a specialist and try to determine the next steps.
