Nats catch a break

Lo Duca headed to the disabled list with a fractured hand.

Next question: how soon after the 4-6 weeks it'll take for his hand to heal can they simply release him? Hey, at least he's got a future in coaching (just not coaching involved with throwing out would-be base stealers)!

Estrada heading off to the DL, too. Nationals Journal says Jesus Flores will return from exile in AAA as the starter, with Mr. Walkoff Wil Nieves backing up.

Was it Lo Duca's "pummeling fans hand" that got hurt? I hope not...

I just want him to go away. Is it too much to ask? He's great for a quote in the paper after the game, but that's about it these days.
