Nationals' Jonny Venters: Dealing with shoulder strain

Venters was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain Thursday.

The nature of the injury was initially undisclosed but was confirmed as a shoulder strain by the Nationals on Friday. If the issue isn't a severe one, Venters could be back as soon as next Thursday, as the move was made retroactive to Monday, but the team has yet to announce a timeline.
