This piques my interest:
Jose Iglesias: “I had the best offseason of my life.”
— Joe McDonald (@ESPNJoeyMac) February 12, 2013
No word on this involved his training regimen. If it did, Iglesias is firmly in BSOHL territory. If it involved something else, well, congrats to Iglesias for, I dunno, getting a girlfriend. Or going on a nice vacation. Or finally catching up on “Breaking Bad” or whatever it was that made the winter so good for him.
Nationals closer Sean Doolittle will miss more time than expected as he is dealing with a stress reaction in the bridge of his left foot, MASN’s Mark Zuckerman reports. Doolittle started feeling soreness in his left foot two weeks ago and went on the 10-day disabled list on July 10, retroactive to the 7th.
According to Zuckerman, Doolittle’s injury is similar to a bone bruise. The lefty will stop his rehab program and will likely miss several more weeks than expected. The injury caused Doolittle to not participate in the All-Star Game, but his hope was to return shortly after the second half began.
Doolittle, 31, has 22 saves and a 1.45 ERA with a 49/3 K/BB ratio in 37 1/3 innings for the Nationals this season. Kelvin Herrera will likely get the lion’s share of save chances while Doolittle is out.
