Arroyo says he has torn rotator cuff

VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals right-hander Bronson Arroyo said he has a torn rotator cuff and will make a decision in the next couple of days on whether to rehab the shoulder or retire.

But first, the Nationals are going to compare the MRI Arroyo had in 2014 to the one taken on Wednesday to assess the actual damage in the shoulder.

During his pregame meeting with reporters, manager Dusty Baker said that Arroyo had his rotator cuff repaired during the same time he had Tommy John surgery in 2014. Arroyo was in uniform on Thursday and was seen talking to his teammates.
