Hunter Harvey - Resumes mound work Harvey (forearm) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions, Byron Kerr of MLB.com

Impact Harvey has been throwing at the Nationals' extended spring training facility, and he's built up to 20 pitches during his bullpen sessions. The right-hander will continue to build up before he's cleared to face live hitters, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action.

Stephen Strasburg - Slated for second rehab start Strasburg (neck) is scheduled to make his second rehab start at Single-A Fredericksburg on Sunday, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.

Impact Strasburg is expected to require at least three rehab starts prior to returning to major-league action, and the team is hopeful that he'll be able to throw 60-70 innings over 4-5 innings during his second outing Sunday. As long as he feels good afterward, the right-hander is expected to rejoin the Nationals to throw a bullpen next week before presumably heading out for another rehab start. If Strasburg remains on track in his recovery, he'll likely be in the mix to be activated around early June.

Carter Kieboom - Undergoes Tommy John surgery Kieboom underwent Tommy John surgery Friday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Tommy John surgery doesn't come with as long of a timeline for hitters as it does for pitchers, but Kieboom's recovery will still wipe out the remainder of his 2022 campaign. The Nationals hope he'll be ready for spring training next year, at which point he'll be coming off a lost season with a career .197/.304/.285 slash line to his name, though he'll still be just 25 years old.

Luis García - Returns to lineup Garcia (wrist) is starting Thursday's game at Triple-A Rochester.

Impact Garcia hyperextended his left arm during a collision at first base Tuesday, but he'll be back in action after missing just one game.

Joe Ross - Elbow injury worsens Ross said Wednesday's MRI revealed "more of a sprain" in his right elbow than previous imaging, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 28-year-old exited his first rehab start Tuesday due to soreness in his right elbow, and it appears the injury is worse than the one which prompted surgery last year. Ross was dealing with partially torn UCL at that point, and he also had a bone spur removed from the elbow in March. The right-hander has more tests scheduled for Friday, which could determine whether or not he'll require another procedure.
