Nationals Place C Keibert Ruiz Back on 7-Day Concussion IL

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz was placed back on the 7-day concussion injured list after experiencing renewed symptoms following his activation on July 4. Ruiz, who was initially injured on June 23 after being struck by a foul ball, played in only two games before returning to the injured list and is expected to remain sidelined through the All-Star break. To compensate, the Nationals recalled catcher Drew Millas from Triple-A Rochester and have Riley Adams sharing catching duties. Ruiz is batting .247 with two home runs and 25 RBIs this season. Additional roster moves included signing right-hander Luis Garcia to a one-year major league contract, optioning Eduardo Salazar to Triple-A, and transferring Trevor Williams to the 60-day injured list. These changes reflect the Nationals' efforts to manage injuries and maintain depth behind the plate.
