## Resource

DJ Herz’s promising return to the Nationals’ rotation is on hold after a flexor muscle strain was discovered via MRI, forcing him into a shutdown period to recover. The young pitcher, who was throwing well in rehab starts and on track to rejoin the team around the All-Star break, now faces an uncertain timeline. For a Nationals team tied for a Wild Card spot and struggling with pitching woes, his absence is a major setback — but the focus remains squarely on getting him healthy before he steps back on the mound.
