Nationals signed RHP Michael Crotta to a minor league contract.
Crotta didn't pitch at all in 2012 due to elbow issues, but the Nats are giving him a shot after he hit 96 mph on the radar gun during a recent tryout. The 28-year-old right-hander had an ugly 9.28 ERA over 15 relief appearances with the Pirates in 2011.

Pirates re-signed RHP Michael Crotta to a minor league contract.
Crotta was unconditionally released earlier this week, but it was something of a technicality, as the Pirates were unable to outright him to the minors because he was on the disabled list. The 26-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment at the end of July to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Ryan Ludwick.
Thu, Aug 11, 2011 12:27:00 PM
Pirates released RHP Michael Crotta.
The Bucs designated Crotta for assignment in July after the 26-year-old posted a 5.40 ERA in 11 2/3 minor league innings. He drew no interest on waivers.
Tue, Aug 9, 2011 01:20:00 PM
Pirates designated RHP Michael Crotta for assignment.
The move clears a 40-man roster spot for newly acquired outfielder Ryan Ludwick. Crota, 26, has posted a 5.40 ERA this season in the minor leagues.

D.L.
Nationals placed C Wilson Ramos on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain.
Ramos missed a couple weeks last month with the same injury. He doesn't think the strain is too bad, but it's possible the Nats will play it safe and hold him out longer this time around.

D.L.
Jayson Werth (hamstring) will not be ready for activation from the disabled list on Friday and could be sidelined for as much as two more weeks.
Nationals manager Davey Johnson said he received an "alarming" report on Werth Monday, which obviously doesn't sound good. The outfielder experienced a setback with his hamstring during a rehab game last week and has yet to return to game action. He was slated to see a specialist over the weekend and evidently didn't receive good news. Roger Bernadina and Tyler Moore will continue to be the primary fill-ins for Werth.

Ross Detwiler reported improvement with his back Monday and hopes to be ready to make his next start.
Detwiler will play catch on Tuesday before throwing from a mound later in the week. With an off day on Thursday, the Nationals can delay Detwiler's next turn a few days. Zach Duke is making a spot start in his place on Monday.

Ryan Mattheus
D.L.
Nationals placed RHP Ryan Mattheus on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 20, with a fractured right hand.
Mattheus suffered the injury Sunday after he gave up five runs on four hits and two walks over one inning against the Padres and punched his locker in frustration. No word yet on how long he'll be sidelined, but he's obviously facing an extended absence. The Nationals are calling up Yunesky Maya and Fernando Abad for some bullpen insurance.

Christian Garcia
D.L.
Christian Garcia (forearm) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend with Double-A Harrisburg.
Garcia has been shut down since the early part of spring training with a partial tendon tear in his right forearm, but he's ready to return to game action. The Nationals were planning to stretch him out as a starter prior to the injury, but he'll pitch in relief for the time being.
