Austin Voth - Starts throwing programVoth (nose) played catch on the field Sunday prior to the Nationals' 5-0 win over the Giants, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

ImpactAccording to MLB.com, Voth has seen a dramatic reduction in the swelling around his fractured nose and left eye one week after being struck in the face by a pitch. Voth, who underwent surgery to reset his nose, is now beginning to ramp up again and could be ready to throw off a mound within the next few days. The 28-year-old should have a good chance to return from the injured list before the end of the month.

Stephen Strasburg - Set to meet with specialistManager Dave Martinez said Sunday that Strasburg (neck) is scheduled to meet with a specialist soon before the Nationals determine the next step in his recovery from nerve irritati...

ImpactStrasburg has yet to resume throwing since he was placed on the 10-day injured list June 2 with a neck strain, as the Nationals are waiting for his nerve irritation to subside before clearing him to play catch. The meeting with a specialist could shed more light on a potential timeline for Strasburg's return, but it's clear at this point that the Nationals are viewing him as week-to-week rather than day-to-day. Erick Fedde is expected to serve as Washington's No. 5 starter for the duration of Strasburg's absence.
