Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on the Cade Cavalli watch; Yadiel Hernández to IL; CJ Abrams’ throwing

“He’s getting better each and every start,” GM Mike Rizzo told 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies when asked about the continued development of Cade Cavalli, the 2020 1st Round pick and top pitching prospect in Washington’s system, last week.

“He’s going to be a good big league pitcher for us,” Rizzo continued. “I’m excited to see him when he gets here, and when the reports are that he’s ready to come to the big leagues, we certainly will not hesitate to bring him here.”

“He goes out there and has a few outings where he’s consistent, we get him up there where he can throw six-plus innings, then we’ll deem that he probably can come up and help us,” Nats’ skipper Davey Martinez said when he too was asked when fans in the nation’s capital might see Cavalli in the big league rotation.
