PITTSBURGH – The first pitch was more than three hours away, but Gerardo Parra was on the pristine, green outfield grass in short right field here Saturday afternoon at PNC Park.
On a 78-degree afternoon, with several dozen flagbearers getting ready for a special 9-11 presentation, Parra worked with members of the strength and conditioning staff of the Nationals with a goal of getting back to the active roster.
“I feel better; I feel better every day,” Parra, 34, told Federal Baseball, before heading into the clubhouse before the Saturday night game against the Pirates.
