Nationals first baseman Nick Johnson was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a torn tendon sheath in his right wrist. He is expected to miss four to six weeks. Washington plans to activate first baseman Dmitri Young from the DL on Friday. Young went on the disabled list April 8, retroactive to April 3, with a lower back sprain.
