Jordan was called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports. With Stephen Strasburg (oblique) landing on the disabled list Sunday, Jordan was brought aboard to fortify the Nationals' pitching depth. While he could be a candidate to assume Strasburg's spot in the rotation for Friday in Baltimore, it seems more likely that current long man Tanner Roark would be tabbed for those duties. If that's the case, don't expect Jordan -- who posted a 8.44 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over two appearances with the Nationals earlier this season -- too see anything other than low-leverage work.
