The latest Fernando Abad MLB and fantasy baseball news
Tue, 21 May 2013 11:37:27 -0700 The Washington Nationals placed RP Ryan Mattheus (hand) on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right hand Tuesday, May 21, and recalled RPs Fernando Abad and Yunesky Maya from the minors in corresponding moves. Also, OF Eury Perez was optioned.
Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:10:28 -0700 The Washington Nationals reassigned C Carlos Maldonado and RP Fernando Abad to minor league camp Wednesday, March 27.
Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:24:25 -0800 The Washington Nationals have been impressed with RP Fernando Abad so far in camp. "I was really impressed with the way he threw the other day," manager Davey Johnson said. "The way he attacked the hitters (Wednesday), he threw a couple good curveballs. That was great. (Pitching coach Steve McCatty) wanted him to throw another inning. I said, 'No. I want to see that again the day after tomorrow.'" The Nats have only one other left-hander penciled into their bullpen (RP Zach Duke). Abad said his poor 2012 season was attributed to arm fatigue, and he built his endurance by running long distances in the offseason. Also, his arm slot was too far from his body a year ago, which led to him flying open when he threw. He worked this winter to stay closed and hold his arms higher, and the results so far this spring are encouraging - no hits, two strikeouts and two walks.
