3 years agoInjured Washington Nationals starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) and Joe Ross (elbow) both threw simulated games on Thursday. They each tossed 43 pitches across three innings during their outings. According to Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports, Nationals manager Davey Martinez sounded optimistic that both pitchers could begin minor league rehab assignments soon. Ross hasn't appeared in the majors since last August while Strasburg has been on the shelf since last June. Neither has a very clear timeline for a return to the majors, but they appear to be moving in the right direction.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
