Nationals reliever David Carpenter has stopped his throwing program as he continues to recover from right shoulder inflammation after feeling discomfort while playing catch off flat ground. The veteran will now take two or three days off after receiving anti-inflammatory injections and undergoing an MRI.
The good news is that the MRI showed no structural damage, which alleviated any fears of the injury being something much worse than it was originally classified.
“He’s doing fine. He went in for a test to make sure everything is okay, an MRI. All of the results are good,” Matt Williams said.
