Fantasy Impact:

It's yet another setback for the former Nationals ace who has been riddled with injuries in recent years. The right-hander has made just eight starts since taking home World Series MVP honors in 2019 including just one outing in the 2022 season. It's becoming increasingly likely the 34-year-old may never pitch in the big leagues again.
