Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Cade Cavalli landing on IL; plan for Josiah Gray; MacKenzie Gore

Davey Martinez broke some unfortunate news before last night’s series opener with Oakland in the nation’s capital, explaining how Cade Cavalli felt tightness in his right shoulder in his post-MLB debut throwing session, then went for an MRI on the shoulder which revealed, “... a little bit of inflammation around the capsule.”

“But the labrum, tendons, the rotator cuff, everything’s very, very clean,” Martinez stressed.

“So we’re gonna be very, very cautious. We talked to Cade. Cade says he feels good today.”

Martinez was also pleased with the reaction he got from Cavalli in spite of the bad news.
