MrAndMrsFish Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The Washington Nationals activated right-hander Jon Rauch from the 60-day disabled list before Tuesday night's game against the Florida Marlins, and moved infielder Junior Spivey from the 15- to the 60-day DL. Rauch was 1-3 with a 4.00 ERA in eight relief appearances this season before being sidelined in May with a torn right labrum. He had shoulder surgery May 31. ??Hopefully, I can fill in, eat up some innings and just help out,'' Rauch said. ??To bounce back this quick, especially after surgery, is exciting.'' He allowed one run and three hits in three innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A New Orleans on Monday. Spivey, acquired in a June trade with Milwaukee, broke his right wrist while hitting off a practice tee in July. Source: AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Wow Rauch's back. Tallest man in the majors. This really helps the Nats, who lacked ANYONE for long relief and spot-starting. His injury happened one wet afternoon out west when he was asked to pitch parts of three innings after having already warmed up twice that day.
