Nationals' reliever Chad Cordero will miss roughly a month of action with a tear in the muscle below his pitching shoulder, according to the Associated Press.
He left the team's win over the Braves on Tuesday when he felt pain after throwing a pitch.
He will miss four to six weeks after undergoing an MRI, but the team hasn't yet put him on the disabled list.

Nationals' closer Chad Cordero will not need surgery on his injured right shoulder, according to the Washington Post.
Dr. James Andrews examined his shoulder on Wednesday, deciding that a procedure wasn't necessary.
"I'm very relieved," Cordero said by phone Wednesday. "He said it was just normal stuff. Most pitchers have it at some point. It's nothing serious, and it's not going to damage me if I pitch with it."
