“I’ll give you a little update,” Davey Martinez teased a reporter who asked for information on Aníbal Sánchez, the 38-year-old Washington Nationals’ pitcher, who has been out of action since the end of Spring Training with a cervical nerve impingement in his neck, but has now started throwing and is apparently on his way to West Palm Beach, FL, where he will start to build up at the club’s facilities.
“He’s leaving. He’s going out. He’s going to Florida,” Martinez said. “And he’s going to go there and throw some live BPs, maybe pitch in a game or two, and then if everything goes well he’ll go on a rehab assignment and get him going.
