The true test of the Washington Nationals bullpen starts now.
Shawn Kelley and Koda Glover return from the disabled list in time to start a rain-shortened three-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies. Kelley injured his back warming up after an illness while Glover aggravated a labrum injury from last year.
A.J. Cole and Matt Grace went back to Triple-A Syracuse.
The last seven days were brutal for the Nats bullpen. Blowing both save opportunities presented, another three home runs left opposition bats. In 14.2 innings, the pen allowed 24 hits.
