Nationals optioned LHP Matt Purke to Low-A Hagerstown.
Purke is still recovering from August shoulder surgery and will continue his rehab over in minor league camp. A third-round pick in 2011, he is currently throwing two bullpen sessions per week at about 50 percent velocity.
Mar 5 - 4:17 PM
Nationals prospect left-hander Matthew Purke had shoulder surgery in August.
Purke had surgery to relieve bursitis and clean out scar tissue. While he slipped in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft due to concerns over his shoulder, he was assured that his labrum and rotator cuff are in "excellent" condition. The 22-year-old left-hander is expected to be fully healthy for spring training. Purke pitched in just three games with Low-A Hagerstown this season, posting a 5.87 ERA and 14/12 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings.

Nationals prospect Matt Purke is on the minor league disabled list due to shoulder tendinitis.
A recent visit with Dr. Lewis Yocum ruled out structural damage, but there is no timetable for Purke's return. The 21-year-old lefty had a number of health issues coming out of college and has carried them into his pro career.

Nationals optioned LHP Matt Purke to High-A Potomac.
Purke made two appearances in big league camp this spring, allowing one run over 3 1/3 innings while striking out three and walking one. The 21-year-old southpaw slipped to the 96th pick in last year's draft due to health concerns, but he has the potential to be a front line starting pitcher.

Wilson Ramos
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.

Bryce Harper (knee) is not in the Nationals' lineup Sunday.
Harper is still feeling banged up from last week's collision with the Dodger Stadium outfield wall. It's his left knee that has been bothering him most. He'll try to return to the Nationals' starting lineup on Monday.

Jayson Werth is going to Chicago to see another specialist regarding his tight right hamstring.
Werth suffered a setback in his rehab Wednesday when he felt some tightness in his hamstring during a game at High-A Potomac. He saw a doctor in New York on Saturday, and he'll see another one in Chicago early next week. He is still hoping to return to the Nationals' lineup by Friday but that seems unlikely to happen.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson confirmed Friday that Ross Detwiler will not make his scheduled start against the Giants on Monday due to a lower back injury.
Detwiler was required to leave his most recent start on Wednesday due to back spasms. No word yet on whether he'll require a trip to the disabled list. Craig Stammen is expected to replace Detwiler in the rotation while he's out.

D.L.
Christian Garcia (forearm) has been throwing from a mound and will begin incorporating curveballs on Thursday.
He'll then throw live batting practice after that before heading out on a rehab assignment, though it's not clear when he'll be ready for that. The Nats were planning on stretching Garcia out as a starter prior to his forearm injury, and they still might, but it depends on what the big club needs by the time the righty is healthy.
