The Washington Nationals placed right-hander Kelvin Herrera on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday due to a rotator cuff impingement in his pitching shoulder.

Herrera departed Tuesday's second game of a doubleheader versus the Atlanta Braves with tightness in his shoulder.

Washington recalled right-hander Koda Glover from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Herrera, 28, is 1-2 with three saves a 4.76 ERA in 19 appearances for Washington since being obtained from the Kansas City Royals. He was 1-1 with 14 saves and a 1.05 ERA in 27 games prior to the trade.

The two-time All-Star has a 2.83 career ERA and 60 saves in 461 career relief appearances over eight big-league seasons.

Glover began the season on the disabled list due to a shoulder injury and was 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA in eight appearances at Syracuse prior to his recall. The 25-year-old went 0-1 with eight saves and a 5.12 ERA in 23 appearances for the Nationals in 2017.
