Clippard to the 15 day IL with a groin strain. Harvey and Arano back up
Likely Clipcraps' last season. Solid career. Now he can go play golf with Corbin, who's priorities are as follows: family, golf, baseball.
Recounting his recovery, Kieboom laughed about the mundane tasks that now feel like huge victories. This past Friday was the six-week mark, meaning he no longer has to wear a brace. Living near the Nationals’ facility in West Palm Beach, Fla., he goes on long walks to stay in shape. He expects to start throwing and hitting in October. He has no problem saying he’ll be ready next spring, when he could be greeted by another shot to stick.What he’s battling, though, is loneliness. He typically arrives in the morning to an empty clubhouse. Those playing for the Nationals’ Florida Complex League team are all on the minor league side. And after watching the first 50 games of the season, give or take, Kieboom is picking and choosing more.He always checks the box scores. He is glued to any National League East matchup, figuring he’s likely to face some of those pitchers in the future. But catching every inning took a toll. TV on or not, there’s a great physical and metaphorical distance between Kieboom and his teammates, the ones trudging through a season that could end with more than 100 losses. Kieboom knows only time can close it.“Baseball is not all I have ... but it is all I’ve ever really worked for,” he said. “I thought this was the year my career was going to get on track. Now that was delayed, and it’s okay. I mean, it has to be okay. I’m still so far from being finished.”

Does this count as a year of control for the team?Next year is (another) rebuilding year. If he's healthy, may as well try him one more time. Nothing to lose.
According to https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/service-time, his injured time does count as service time. Service time includes time spent on the 26 man roster, and any time spent injured.
One more year of team control. No one blocking him at 3B or in the corner OFIf he's healthy, give him games. See what happens. If no progress, no arbitration.
Clippard to Rochester to rehab
