Nationals' shortstop Christian Guzman has elected to have season-ending shoulder surgery after experiencing pain on Friday.
Results from Nationals shortstop Christian Guzman's MRI on his throwing shoulder are in: he has inflammation in the joint.
Ouch! The Nationals have just announced that Jose Guillen will likely be out for 3 months after damage to a tendon in his left wrist was discovered. The team will seek a second opinion.
The Nationals received an unfortunate blow on Saturday: right-handed pitcher Brian Lawrence, acquired this off-season for Vinnie Castilla in a trade with the Padres, left spring training camp after it was confirmed that he has a torn labrum. Lawrence will have surgery soon and while there's a chance he could be back by August, he may miss all of 2006 if the injury is worse than it appears.
