You know the drill. Here’s the latest:
– Masahiro Tanaka threw his latest bullpen session this morning at Nationals Park. 29 pitches, no reported issues, and it sounds like he’s ready to start his official MiL rehab. The team has yet to announce any formal plans, but both Double-A Trenton and Triple-A SWB are at home later in the week. Assuming Tanaka feels fine tomorrow, I bet he’ll be lined up to pitch for one of those teams on Thursday or Friday.
– Sounds like everything is OK with Mark Teixeira‘s toe.
