Would love to see him back. Can't expect anything, but he seemed nasty in his extremely small sample size last season before getting hurt.

No reason to bother with this. Doolittle isnt part of the future
Highly unlikely he provides any benefit in the present. Just DFA him and let a young guy have his spot.

Nats need a lefty relief pitcher, plus guys like Erasmo and Machado need to sit for a while. Doolittle has always gotten the job done.

until cronin or another lefty needs a spot, he has a useful role. on top of that, younger pitchers would benefit from having an all star around.

they could fire Darnell and let Doolittle coach ‘em up.

Pitching in Fredericksburg tonight.

I predict that he will be a Tyler Clippard Special where he gets called up for a couple of appearances and then is disappeared like a squealer on The Sopranos. He might not pitch at all for the Nats.

So long as he's here for the Pride parade!

Doolittle will allow the Nats to send Erasmo or Machado, or both, to "rehab" their injuries in Rochester.

Doolittle was placed on the seven-day injured list by Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday due to a right patellar tendon strain, according to Nationals manager Dave Martinez. Doolittle will be shut down for seven to 10 days, then the club will reevaluate his injury and decide on what's next for the veteran reliever.

It's the latest setback for the 36-year-old Doolittle, who underwent a season-ending internal brace procedure last July before signing a Minor League deal to return to Washington in November. He was promoted from Double-A Harrisburg to Rochester on June 15. He was coming off his best outing yet with the Red Wings, striking out one over a scoreless inning on Sunday.

Sean Doolittle has announced his retirement.

Does he go in the ring?

I know some folks don’t like him for his outspoken political views but the guy pitched through some arm issues for the team so he is A OK with me and his role in the championship will not be forgotten.

there was a time in 2019 IIRC where he was pretty much our only reliable reliever.

Yep and overworked which probably helped lead to the arm problems.
