2 years agoThe Washington Nationals are placing rookie right-hander Cade Cavalli (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday due to right shoulder inflammation. Cavalli will be shut down from throwing for at least the next two weeks after feeling pain in his shoulder while playing catch following his major league debut last weekend against the Cincinnati Reds. The 24-year-old, who is the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is unlikely to make another start in 2022. In his first MLB start, he was roughed up and allowed seven earned runs on six hits while walking two and striking out six in 4 1/3 frames. With Cavalli out, Cory Abbott is a candidate to be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to join the Nats' starting rotation.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
