Nationals place 1B Adams (shoulder) on IL


The Washington Nationals’ injury list keeps growing, with first baseman Matt Adams joining the group Sunday with a left shoulder strain.

Adams landed on the 10-day IL after jamming his shoulder while making a diving out at first base in the second inning of Saturday’s 10-8 win against the Philadelphia Phillies.

He joins starting first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who was sidelined a week ago with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Outfielder Juan Soto (back), third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) and shortstop Trea Turner (index finger) are also on the injured list.

Adams, 30, is batting .250 with three homers and 13 RBIs in 29 games this season.

The Nationals recalled infielder Jake Noll from Triple-A Fresno in a corresponding move, the third time the rookie has been called up this season.

Noll, 25, was in the starting lineup at first base for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.
