John Patterson?

[Serminator]

They toyed with us once before re: him beginning rehab starts "next week."

Anyone know anything official?

Anyone heard reports on how his bullpen sessions have been?

John Patterson, on the disabled list with a right forearm strain, threw 30 pitches in a batting practice session and didn't feel any pain.
"Everything felt free and easy," he said. "You couldn't tell that anything happened to my forearm. That's good. If I can just put it out of my mind, its going to be great." Patterson is expected to make a rehab start next week.

Most recent I've seen. 2 days old.

That's what I read, too. Gave me a good reason to drop Wandy Rod's @$$ after that 1 inning debacle because I was trying to figure out who to drop for him.

June 3: The Washington Post reports that John Patterson is slated to toss another simulated game on Saturday. If all goes well, he hoped to follow that up with a rehab assignment. "I hope it's one rehab start, maybe two," said Patterson, who is recovering from a strained muscle in his forearm.

I think the Nats are realizing that they need to ease Patterson along slowly with this recovery. A strained forearm muscle doesn't sound like an injury that will nag once he heals up fully.

Lets hope he returns in good form...I know I am, as I just traded for him

A healthy Patterson would really, really help me out right now.

For me, that is the understatement of the season. My Ks dropped significantly when JPatt went down.

Cmon back Patterson!

Encouraging.

If he's healthy enough to make a Class A start then why is it tentaively scheduled? Hope he's back next week.
