Nationals' Mason Thompson: Shifts to 60-day IL

The Nationals transferred Thompson (biceps) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

A month after landing on the IL with biceps tendinitis, Thompson hasn't taken any notable steps forward in his recovery from the injury. As a result, the Nationals decided to rule out a return for Thompson for at least one more month, with the transaction simultaneously clearing a spot on the 40-man roster for another right-handed reliever in Carl Edwards.
