Jul 19 The Nationals lost for the 10th time in their last 12 games, falling to the Braves on Friday. ? 1B Dimitri Young was a late scratch from the lineup after he was unable to get his blood sugar level under control. Young, who is diabetic, was having vision problems. ? Prior to the game, the Nationals placed OF Wily Mo Pena on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder injury and activated C Johnny Estrada from the DL. Estrada, who missed the last 36 games with a right elbow injury, started at catcher and was hitless in four at-bats. ? With Estrada on the active roster, the Nationals are carrying four catchers. As a result, C Paul Lo Duca shifted from behind the plate to first base. The Nationals also used C Jesus Flores as a pinch hitter. ? Washington fell to 1-55 when trailing after eight innings.
