3 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (neck) and Joe Ross (elbow) faced live hitters on Tuesday and will do so again on Friday. Both pitchers continue to ramp up their throwing programs in order to return to Washington's starting rotation. Strasburg and Ross could both be nearing minor league rehab assignments, but there remains no firm timetable on when they might make a start for the Nationals. Strasburg had surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome last year and will be a true wild card whenever he's back in the big leagues. Strasburg could rejoin the rotation in D.C. before the end of May, barring any setbacks. Ross can't come off the 60-day injured list until early June.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
