Trevor Rosenthal’s comeback from his 2017 elbow surgery went so well, the Washington Nationals’ newest reliever says he considered trying to get back to the majors last season.
“The whole process has been very smooth. No hiccups. I felt really good the whole time. Almost too good,” Rosenthal said Monday during a conference call with reporters. “Especially there, after the All-Star break, I was kind of anxious, thinking I might be able to pitch before the season was over. But the plan all along from my doctor was just to take this year off, so we stuck with that plan.
