WASHINGTON -- It looks like Nationals right-hander Bronson Arroyo is far from finished. In early May, he was throwing sidearm because of shoulder issues. Now, he is able to throw from the three-quarter arm slot.
Arroyo's shoulder feels so good these days that he is pitching in intrasquad games at the Nationals Spring Training complex in Viera, Fla. Entering Saturday's action, Arroyo already had pitched in two games, throwing a combined five innings without any problems.
During Spring Training, Arroyo had partial tears in his rotator cuff tendons and said he would retire if the injury required surgery.
