Washington Nationals SP Ross Detwiler (back) was throwing 94-96 mph during the instructional league during his rehab, and he feels great about his health heading into spring training next year. However, he'll have to compete for a rotation spot after the team added SP Doug Fister in a trade. SPs Taylor Jordan, Tanner Roark, Ross Ohlendorf, Nathan Karns and Sammy Solis are other options to compete with Detwiler. He could also serve as a lefty reliever out of the bullpen.

Washington Nationals SP Ross Detwiler (back) is unlikely to return this season with only 11 games remaining in the regular season. Detwiler threw three innings during a bullpen session Tuesday, Sept. 17, and will pitch in the instructional league Monday, Sept. 23. "If that's the plan, he might as well stay down there," manager Davey Johnson said. "I don't see it. If he gets four days off, there will only be one or two games left. I don't see the point in coming out just for one game for us. That's going to be a decision made down the road." Detwiler hasn't pitched since July 3.

Washington Nationals SP Ross Detwiler (back) threw a full bullpen session Wednesday, Sept. 11, for the second time since going on the disabled list July 4. Detwiler felt good after the throwing session after tossing 30 pitches. His command was sharp. Detwiler will likely throw two more bullpens and then face live hitters in a simulated game. He could return for the final week of the season, but at that point, he'd likely be used as a reliever.

The Washington Nationals recalled P Tanner Roark from Triple-A Syracuse Tuesday, Aug. 6, and moved SP Ross Detwiler (back) to the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding move. Roark was 9-3 with a 3.15 ERA in 105 2/3 innings (11 starts and 22 relief appearances) at Syracuse this year. SP Taylor Jordan has two or three starts left before he's shut down, so Roark could be an option for the rotation.

Fantasy Tip: Roark would only be an option for NL-only leaguers if he gets a shot at a rotation post in the nation's capital.
