I dunno.  Comes across as wishful thinking. Cannot get too excited after one bullpen session.
check in in 5 weeks and see how he is progressing, sure, but the Nats are overdue for a break.  Well, there's Meneses, but you know what i mean.

It's great news.  If he can even come back well enough to be useful in the pen for a few years, that's life-altering money for him and decent value out of a second-round pick for the team.

Threw his first live batting practice today.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/03/07/washington-nationals-spring-training/

A savvy fan today, for instance, could have hung around in West Palm Beach and seen Cole Henry throw his first live batting practice session since having surgery to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome. Almost all the front office brass — Mike Rizzo, Mark Scialabba, longtime scouts Bob Schaefer and Dan Jennings, Manager Dave Martinez — were there to watch Henry, who threw only fastballs.

Catching up on this, but Cole Henry threw an inning in a game this past Sunday and word is that he looked really sharp. Fastball was in the mid-90s. The club will have to manage his innings coming off TOS surgery, but this is a significant step.

A few more of those stretched out a few more innings and we'll all be going  :clap:  or  :woop:  or maybe even  :metal:  or  :minigunz:.

PS - I noticed that when you quote a post with a quote in the reply, you need to insert an extra [/quote] at the end of the quoted material in order for your remark not to be added within the quoted text.

Cole Henry should join an affiliate by the last week of May. That’s the working plan, at least, according to multiple people familiar with it. Henry, a 23-year-old top pitching prospect, remains in West Palm Beach, Fla. after undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome last August. His throwing program is on track.

Henry returned to action by throwing one inning at the start of a minor league exhibition on March 19. His fastball sat in the mid-90s, encouraging two front office officials who watched from behind home plate. But once Henry is activated with an affiliate, expect the Nationals to carefully ease him toward a normal starter’s workload. At this point of the rebuild, there is no reason to rush.

Done after 3. 33 pitches, 27 strikes. 5Ks, 1 hit, no walks

Struggled a bit with command in the 3rd, leaving some fastballs out over the plate that got hit hard. Still used the breaking ball well to get out of it.

Now .... we see how he is tomorrow. All in all, nice return for Henry.

Henry gave up no runs on three hits over the first four, struck out six and left with a 7 - 0 lead.

check in in 5 weeks and see how he is progressing, sure, but the Nats are overdue for a break.  Well, there's Meneses, but you know what i mean.

It has been more than 5 weeks...
