Jake Irvin Exits Start With Shoulder/Lat Injury; MRI Scheduled

Jake Irvin was forced to depart Saturday's start against the Braves after pitching five no-hit innings due to a shoulder/lat injury. Irvin, who required trainer assistance to leave the mound, is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of the issue. Despite his early exit, Irvin contributed to a combined one-hitter as the Nationals secured a 2-0 shutout victory over Atlanta.
