In his weekly visit with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies this past weekend, Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo said rehabbing starters Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross were ready to go out to minor league affiliates in the near future as each progresses in their work from the injuries which have delayed the starts of their respective 2022 campaigns. Rizzo wouldn’t commit to a set timeframe, however.
“I think that we’ve got a calendar put in place for all of our pitchers, Stras and Joe Ross specifically, that we’re going to build them up to a point where they’ll soon be going to an affiliate to do rehab starts,” Rizzo explained.
