Gets back on mound Rainey (lower leg) tossed a 20-pitch bullpen session Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact According to Dougherty, Rainey was throwing from a distance shorter than the standard 60 feet to home plate, so he has yet to complete a traditional bullpen session since landing on the injured list in late June with a stress reaction in his right tibia. That said, the Nationals believe Rainey is ahead of schedule in his recovery from the injury. A firmer target date for Rainey's return from the IL should emerge once he's facing hitters in live batting practice, but based on where he currently stands in his throwing program, he'll be hard pressed to make it back before the end of July.

Heads to IL The Nationals placed Rainey on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a stress reaction in his right tibia, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
Impact The righty felt discomfort in that right leg, his push-off leg, while pitching Sunday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports. Despite having a hefty 6.93 ERA on the season, Rainey has held opponents scoreless in nine of his last 10 appearances and has been one of the Nationals most trusted late-inning relievers. Wander Suero and Austin Voth are likely to earn more high-leverage opportunities during Rainey's absence, the length of which is unclear at this time.

Earns win despite rough outing Rainey (1-2) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning, earning the win in Wednesday's 13-12 win over the Phillies.
Impact The righty also had a blown save by letting both inherited runners score in the eighth inning. With the two outs, Rainey lowered his ERA to a still-alarming 7.54, though seven of his last eight appearances have been scoreless and he remains the second most-trusted option in the Nationals' bullpen while Daniel Hudson (elbow) is out.

Notches first save Rainey was credited with the save Wednesday against the Rays, completing a scoreless inning during which he walked one and struck out two.
Impact Usual closer Brad Hand was brought in with the score tied in the ninth inning, and he kept Tampa Bay off the board to push the game into extra innings. Each team scored a pair of runs in the 10th, and the Nationals put up two more in their half of the 11th frame. Rainey was then summoned to protect the lead, and he succeeded on the strength of two strikeouts and a groundout. The save was a bright spot in an otherwise difficult season for the right-hander, who has posted a 9.35 ERA and 24:15 K:BB across 17.1 innings.
