Episode Details

Jake Irvin takes a major step toward recovery, tossing a 30-pitch simulated game — his first live hitter appearance since landing on the injured list with a right shoulder strain. The Nationals’ key pitcher, who went 2-4 with a 5.23 ERA before his injury, last dazzled fans with five no-hit innings against Atlanta. Manager Blake Butera confirms Irvin’s next move is likely a rehab assignment, with at least three minor league starts planned to build arm strength and stamina before a potential return to the majors. Fans are thrilled to see him back on the mound.
