The Nationals placed 2B Ronnie Belliard on the 15-day disabled list Monday night, retroactive to Friday, and plan to recall right-handed pitcher Chris Schroder from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. Belliard has been bothered by a strained left calf. "He was getting better, so he came out early and tried to run and test it, and he reinjured it," manager Manny Acta said following Monday night's 4-0 win over the Phillies. (Updated 05/19/2008).
Injury Report
Calf - 15-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 5/19/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Belliard has just two hits dating back to April 17 and is no longer the starting second baseman for the Nationals. Only an injury to either Cristian Guzman or Felipe Lopez might get Belliard back in the lineup, but for now, he has to deal with his own. Leave him on waivers. (Updated 05/19/2008).
