Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Stephen Strasburg & Joe Ross; Nelson Cruz in the clubhouse + more...

Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross have both been on the same schedule for a while, which probably makes it easier for the folks handling their respective rehabs down in West Palm Beach, FL. Both starters threw two innings in simulated games on Friday.

Strasburg threw 27 pitches, and hit 92 on the radar gun according to what manager Davey Martinez told reporters yesterday, and Ross threw 33 pitches, and got up to 95 MPH.

Ross underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow in March, after he was shut down last August with a UCL sprain in his throwing arm.
