Stephen Strasburg - Slated for extended bullpenStrasburg (shoulder) will throw approximately 55 pitches in an extended bullpen session Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactStrasburg threw 75 pitches in a rehab start for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, and manager Dave Martinez said that Tuesday's throwing session could help the team determine whether the right-hander will be able to start Friday against the Orioles. Strasburg felt good after his rehab outing Sunday and should take Erick Fedde's place in the rotation once he's cleared to return.

Luke Weaver - Expects to make next turnWeaver (shoulder) said after his early exit in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Nationals that he's "pretty confident" he'll be available for his next turn through the rotation Friday in C...
ImpactWeaver covered four scoreless frames before he was removed with an injury the Diamondbacks labeled as right shoulder discomfort. According to the pitcher, he believes that the discomfort was caused by poor mechanics, and he suspects that he'll be good to go if he makes a proper tweak to his delivery. Weaver has covered 10.1 scoreless frames between his last two outings, lowering his season ERA from 6.07 to 4.50 in the process.

Victor Robles - Getting active on basepathsRobles went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
ImpactThe 23-year-old is up to four steals on the season, and three of them have come in the last eight games. Robles is also slashing .348/.400/.522 over that stretch with four doubles, but hitting ninth in the order is limiting the damage he can do as he has only three runs and three RBI to show for his hot streak.

Stephen Strasburg - Strong rehab outing SundayStrasburg (shoulder) threw 75 pitches over 4.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. He gave up two hits and two walks while st...
ImpactThe Nats were hoping the right-hander would be able to pitch a full five innings, but Strasburg came out of the game after reaching his targeted pitch count. He's on track to come off the injured list and take the mound Friday against the Orioles, but with Erick Fedde having put together one of the best starts of his career Sunday, Washington may feel less pressure to get Strasburg back into the rotation and instead give him one more rehab outing to get fully stretched out.
