Talking with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies last Wednesday, Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo provided an update on rehabbing starters Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross. Both the right-handers are on the same schedule in West Palm Beach, FL, and are for now progressing at a similar pace, so the update touched on the work both pitchers are doing.
“The latest on Stras would be he threw a live batting practice against hitters yesterday [last Tuesday],” Rizzo told the Junkies, “... and he threw one inning of live BP, he’s going to throw another one on Friday, and we’re going to extend him.
