With setbacks from an extended illness and a dead arm period as he ramped back up earlier this season, Cade Cavalli had to do a reset on his rehab from Tommy John surgery and he is now, essentially, starting from scratch, trying to buld his back arm up for an eventual return to game action.
Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez told reporters this week Cavalli was heading down to West Palm Beach, FL, and was, “… going to leave here throwing about 75 feet,” and, “... he should be ramping up.”
As for whether Cavalli, who did make three rehab starts before things came to a halt, could get a start or two in late this season somewhere in the organization, Martinez said right now it’s wait and see.
