It’s been a long time since the Washington Nationals and their fans have seen Joe Ross take the mound. Earlier today, Jamal Collier of MLB.com tweeted that Ross is going to begin another rehab assignment tomorrow at triple-A Syracuse. During today’s game against the Rockies, the Syracuse Chiefs made the announcement that Ross will start tomorrow’s game against Pawtucket (Boston Red Sox):
The 23-year-old right-hander hasn’t pitched in any professional game since he started for the Chiefs on July 30. Ross hasn’t made a start at the Major League level since July 2 against the Cincinnati Reds.
