Joe Ross Stats

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (forearm, elbow) will likely be out for the rest of the season, according to Nationals manager Dave Martinez. Ross was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 15 with a flexor pronator strain in his forearm and a partial UCL tear in his elbow. However, after visiting the doctor, it has been determined that he will not require surgery. Ross has had a solid campaign on the mound, posting a 4.17 ERA with a 23.7 K% in 19 starts and 108 IP. It's been an improvement over his past three seasons where he didn't have an ERA below 5.01. Hopefully, he can come back next year and continue where he left off this year.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross (forearm) experienced right forearm tightness after his bullpen session Saturday and an MRI showed a partial UCL tear, according to MLB.com. The next step is a re-evaluation, manager Dave Martinez said. Ross, who is 5-9 with a 4.17 ERA this season, had been a serviceable fantasy starter in deeper formats, but with this setback managers probably should look for better and healthier options.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross took over for Paolo Espino Wednesday in the holdover suspended game from Tuesday against the New York Mets, and he wasn't able to hold onto the 4-1 lead he was staked to. Ross gave up four runs on six hits and a walk in five innings while striking out two batters. He took a no-decision in the contest. Ross now has a 4.17 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 109 strikeouts in 108 innings on the season. He's a serviceable starting pitcher, especially in two-start weeks, but he shouldn't be a top roster priority.
