| News: Mattheus (hand) will not require surgery but is expected to miss eight weeks, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports. | Impact: The 29-year-old right-hander will be on the shelf for two months after punching a locker and breaking his hand late last week. In 14 appearances prior to the injury, Mattheus posted a 4.96 ERA with a 12:5 strikeout-to-walk ratio.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Mattheus (broken hand) was placed on the DL Monday, the Washington Post reports. | Impact: The Nationals need fresh arms after Monday's 8-0 loss to the Giants, although Mattheus was ticketed for the DL anyway after stupidly punching a locker Sunday. There's no timetable yet for his return, but he could be out as long as a month.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: The Washington Nationals will be without Mattheus after learning that the right-hander broke his pitching hand punching a locker in frustration following his rocky outing Sunday. | Impact: Manager Davey Johnson made the announcement after the Nationals' 8-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. Mattheus allowed five runs in one inning of Washington's 13-4 loss to the San Diego Padres.(STATS, 1:56am) |

| News: Mattheus punched a locker and broke his pitching hand after giving up five runs in one inning Sunday night, the Associated Press reports. | Impact: Mattheus had actually been pitching pretty well before Sunday night, but now he'll have to explain himself to the Washington organization, in addition to recovering from a serious injury. A trip to the 15-day disabled list is probably up next, and Mattheus will almost certainly be out for significantly longer than 15 days.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Mattheus was torched Sunday for six earned runs on six hits in two innings. | Impact: Granted, he hadn't pitched in five days, but this was tough to watch. His ERA skyrocketed from 2.35 to 5.19. Mattheus simply needs to pitch better and to be more consistent if he wants the Nationals to trust him in the later innings of ballgames.(RotoWire, ) |
