Davey Martinez talked at length on Tuesday afternoon about the Washington Nationals’ decision to put 24-year-old, 2020 1st Round pick Cade Cavalli on the IL with inflammation in his right shoulder after the top pitching prospect in the organization made his MLB debut last Friday with a 4 1⁄3-inning, 99-pitch outing, in which he gave up six hits, two walks, and seven runs, while striking out six.
“He threw in the game, came back the next day, was going to do his routine, he was playing catch, after about 10 throws, he said he felt tight in the shoulder area,” Martinez explained.
