Cade Cavalli Resumes Throwing
4 months agoWashington Nationals right-handed pitching prospect Cade Cavalli (elbow) has resumed throwing as he ramps up his rehab process from Tommy John surgery. Cavalli has not made a minor-league rehab start since June 21 because he experienced "dead arm" and then came down with the flu. The team's No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, had Tommy John surgery on March 22 of 2023. "We just wanted to build him up. He pushed himself. He got really sick and now we're just getting him back," manager Dave Martinez said last Friday. The 25-year-old former 22nd overall pick in 2020 out of Oklahoma allowed just two earned runs on one hit with five walks and 13 strikeouts in three rehab starts earlier this year, but the Nats don't really have any incentive to push him back to the big leagues to close out the 2024 season with a postseason spot not on the line.
