Mason Thompson Placed On 60-Day Injured List
The Washington Nationals placed right-handed pitcher Mason Thompson (elbow) on the 60-day injured list. This transaction opened a roster spot for right-handed pitcher Lucas Sims, who the team signed earlier on Wednesday. Earlier in the offseason, manager Dave Martinez expressed optimism about the right-hander, but Thompson was unable to progress enough. As a result, fantasy managers should not expect him to return to the mound until late May. Thompson is still recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in March 2024. During the 2023 campaign, Thompson posted a 5.50 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP across 54 innings. He tallied just 44 punchouts. When healthy, fantasy managers should expect Thompson to have a low-leverage role in the Washington bullpen.
