PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Washington Nationals activated right-hander Garrett Mock from the 60-day disabled list on Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.
The Nationals also transferred left fielder Josh Willingham from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL.
Mock made just one start for the Nationals this season before going on the disabled list on April 11 because of a ruptured right cervical disc that required surgery. He has made five rehab starts, going 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA.
Willingham, who is recovering knee surgery, has been out since Aug. 16 and will not return this season. He hit .268 with 16 home runs and 56 RBIs in 114 games.
