WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson says star pitcher Stephen Strasburg has done well in a bullpen session.
The injured right-hander threw Saturday before the Nationals played Minnesota. Strasburg is on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained muscle in his back.
Johnson said Strasburg is scheduled throw a simulated game Tuesday and is on track to come off the disabled list June 16 and start at Cleveland.
Johnson also said All-Star outfielder Bryce Harper reported that the swelling was down in his ailing left knee.
