Orlando Ribalta Placed On 15-Day Injured List With Biceps Strain

Orlando Ribalta has been out with a right biceps strain and is on the 15-day injured list. In his 2025 season, he pitched 7 2/3 innings over 4 games, with an ERA of 5.87 and a WHIP of 1.17. He recorded 6 strikeouts and allowed 4 walks, with a K/9 of 7.0.

Ribalta's season was interrupted multiple times due to his injury, with expected returns in late June, early July, and mid-July before the current mid-August target. The Nationals continue to manage without him as they face the Cincinnati Reds at Nationals Park. His absence affects the bullpen depth, making relief roles more challenging for the team.
