Still feeling discomfort Ross (elbow) threw Friday but still felt some discomfort in his elbow, so he'll remain on the injured list for now, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Ross has already spent the required 10 days on the injured list but is evidently not yet ready to return. He'll need a pain-free bullpen session or two before the Nationals think about activating him, so Paolo Espino will make at least one more start in his place.

Nationals send Joe Ross to injured list with right elbow inflammation, recall Ryne Harper The move leaves Paolo Espino, Jon Lester and Erick Fedde to start the Nationals' final three games before the all-star break.
JULY 9, 2021 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Placed on injured list Ross was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Thursday, retroactive to July 7, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ross had been pitching quite effectively recently, as he had posted a 2.31 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 39 innings across his last six starts. The right-hander lined up to make one more start prior to the All-Star break during the team's weekend series against the Giants, but he'll now be unavailable until shortly after the break. Paolo Espino will start in his place against San Francisco on Friday. Ross recently saw a doctor who wasn't very concerned about the injury, but the Nationals hope that the swelling will subside during his absence, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports. Manager Dave Martinez is hopeful that the right-hander will only miss one start and that he'll be able to return soon after the All-Star break. Right-hander Ryne Harper was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.

Whiffs 11 in loss Ross (5-8) allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out 11 in 6.2 innings to take the loss against the Dodgers on Sunday.
Impact Ross had earned wins in three of his last four outings and racked up a season-high 11 strikeouts Sunday, but he was forced to settle for the loss as the Nationals mustered just one run in the series finale against the Dodgers. Although the right-hander took his eighth loss of the season Sunday, he's now posted quality starts in five of his last six outings, and he's recorded a 2.31 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 39 innings during that time. Ross tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against San Francisco on Friday.
