ImpactArano landed on the injured list Monday and is eligible to be activated June 21, but he's set to be sidelined beyond the 15-day minimum. The right-hander doesn't have a clear recovery timeline, but he isn't likely to return until July at the earliest.

ImpactStephen Strasburg (thoracic outlet syndrome surgery) is scheduled to come off the 60-day injured list to start Thursday in Miami, but Washington will still need another pitcher to replace Adon in the rotation. Lee represents the most logical option, as he'll be available to pitch Sunday on four days' rest after he tossed 1.2 scoreless frames Tuesday in relief of Adon, who gave up eight earned runs in the Nationals' 12-2 loss. Lee previously made his first MLB start June 1 against the Mets, working 3.2 innings in that outing while giving up two earned runs on four hits and three walks.
