After that, the veteran skipper has every intention of letting his young ace pitch deeper into games than he has at any previous point in his professional career. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_16_11_00_pm__Nationals_Stephen_Strasburg_P-172621.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_16_11_00_pm__Nationals_Stephen_Strasburg_P-172621.html Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:00:33 EST After returning to third base for the first time this spring the Nationals will give Ryan Zimmerman Sunday off. Manager Davey Johnson plans to play him and the rest of the Nationals’ starters on a regular basis next week. Every game, Zimmerman, will bring more progress until he’s ready to play third for the full season ahead. “It’s definitely good enough to play in a game,” Zimmerman said. “I just have to build it up to have the longevity for a whole season. I’m perfectly pleased with where it’s at.” http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_16_10_25_pm__Nationals_Ryan_Zimmerman_3B-172619.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_16_10_25_pm__Nationals_Ryan_Zimmerman_3B-172619.html Sat, 16 Mar 2013 22:25:33 EST Ross Detwiler is in Nationals camp.

Haren said he felt "achy" today, which sure sounds like the dead-arm diagnosis that's thrown around a lot this time of spring. Pitchers often start to feel like their arm is achy once they're a few starts in and their pitch count has been built up. They usually battle through that feeling just for a brief time, and then pitch their way out of it. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_05_08_pm__Nationals_Dan_Haren_P-172340.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_05_08_pm__Nationals_Dan_Haren_P-172340.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:08:33 EST The Nationals sent Nathan Karns and Anthony Rendon to Double-A Harrisburg. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_47_pm__Nationals_Anthony_Rendon_3B-172223.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_47_pm__Nationals_Anthony_Rendon_3B-172223.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 22:47:33 EST The Nationals re-assigned pitcher Pat McCoy and infielders Will Rhymes and Matt Skole to minor league camp. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_51_am__Nationals_Will_Rhymes_2B-172068.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_51_am__Nationals_Will_Rhymes_2B-172068.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:51:33 EST Nationals optioned C Sandy Leon to Double-A Harrisburg. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_49_am__Nationals_Sandy_Leon_C-172067.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_49_am__Nationals_Sandy_Leon_C-172067.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:49:33 EST Nationals optioned OF Eury Perez to Triple-A Syracuse. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_49_am__Nationals_Eury_Perez_OF-172066.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_10_49_am__Nationals_Eury_Perez_OF-172066.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:49:33 EST After experiencing a dead arm last week, right-hander Jordan Zimmermann was solid on the mound Wednesday vs. the Mets.Zimmermann lasted 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs (one earned), striking out six batters and walking two.
