Works five frames in rehab start Fuentes (shoulder) covered five innings and struck out seven in his first rehab start at Double-A Harrisburg on Friday. He was charged with three earned runs on seven hits in the 7... Impact Fuentes, who has been on the Nationals' 60-day injured list since July 2 with a right shoulder strain, looks to be nearing the end of his recovery program. His outing with Harrisburg was the fourth of his rehab assignment, and his high pitch count suggests that he could be a depth option in the Washington rotation in September. The Nationals don't currently have a need for another starter, so expect the team to option him to Harrisburg or Triple-A Rochester once his rehab window comes to a close.
