Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that Tony Sipp left Wednesday’s game with soreness in his left shoulder.
Sipp was surprisingly pulled from a blowout win over the Phillies on Wednesday, but we know why now. The Nationals have a day off on Thursday, but Sipp will be reevaluated before Friday’s game against the Pirates. Keep in mind that Sipp got a late start to the year, so a trip to the injured list simply for precautionary reasons seems possible.
