Kyle Finnegan - Zeroing in on return Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Finnegan (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is on "getting really close" to a return from the 10-day injured list, Mark Zuckerman...
Impact Finnegan was shut down June 22 with a left hamstring injury, but the fact that he's throwing again a week later suggests that he's dealing with a fairly minor strain. Before activating him from the IL, the Nationals will likely want Finnegan to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment, which he could do this weekend.

Daniel Hudson - Tosses bullpen session Hudson (elbow) completed a 25-pitch bullpen session in Washington on Wednesday, Maria Torres of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hudson had been limited to playing catch off flat ground since beginning a throwing program last week, so the bullpen session represents a step forward in the recovery process for the right-hander. Because he's been on the shelf since June 12 with elbow inflammation, Hudson will likely require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list.
