Reliever Carl Edwards Jr., sidelined with right shoulder inflammation, should throw in another simulated game Tuesday in West Palm Beach, Fla. Reliever Tanner Rainey, recovering from Tommy John surgery, is expected to do the same. Reliever Hunter Harvey, out with a right elbow strain, was going to play catch at Nationals Park on Monday.
Cavalli recently regained full range of motion in his right arm, which means he is able to do mundane things such as brush his teeth and put on a T-shirt without issue. Now, he looks to incorporate strength during the next phase of recovery. He has already used weighted bands for flexibility and strengthening the muscles surrounding his shoulder. Even in just a short time, he has noticed progress.“I’ve been doing a little bit of bench presses, biceps and triceps extensions and curls, just developing that muscle back and adding strength,” Cavalli said.
Tanner Rainey pitched a perfect inning at the FCL with one K
He pitched an inning to some guys who graduated high school two months ago.
Aug. 10: RHP Hunter Harvey, RHP Tanner Rainey to throw to hitters at Nationals ParkHarvey (right elbow strain) and Rainey (Tommy John surgery) are slated to face batters as part of their rehabs when the Nationals return home from Philadelphia on Friday. Harvey has been with the team on the two-city road trip, while Rainey has been at the Nats' training complex in West Palm Beach, Fla."For Rainey, it's going to be around 35, 40 pitches," manager Dave Martinez said Thursday. "For Harvey, we'll try to get him three outs. If he does it fairly quick, we'll probably get him about 20, 25 pitches."
Leg cramps stink. Does pickle juice really work?
Yes. To a point.
It's super heavy on sodium, more than needed in most cases, and has potassium and magnesium but in lower quantities than most people need. Not even going into the trace minerals. So it's probably okay at times but better electrolyte options available. I do like taking a tablespoon or more of sauerkraut juice daily, really help with digestion. Kind of plays in the same arena as other fermented vegetables like kimchi, etc.
Harvey activated, La Sorsa sent down.https://www.mlb.com/nationals/roster/transactions
