Braves trying to get Derrek Lee

[Valid]

I don't see how he'd pass through waivers?

[Metes]

He's owed 3.4m thru the end of the year and he's a free agent after. Probably would get through

[Ramp]

DLee to Braves is a done deal

[Ramp]

apparently Brad Hawpe will be a free agent after tonight's Rockies game

Nationals rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg went through his normal day-after-a-start workout routine this morning, including some light throwing, and reported no discomfort in his right forearm, alleviating any immediate fears that the 22-year-old phenom suffered a season-ending injury Saturday night.

However, the Nationals will still proceed cautiously with Strasburg. He left Philadelphia shortly before noon today, and was headed to Washington to undergo an MRI exam, the results of which could come as soon as tonight but probably will not be released by the team until Monday morning. In the meantime, Manager Jim Riggleman said it was "probably safe to say" that Strasburg will miss his next scheduled start, Thursday night's at Nationals Park against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Strasburg left Saturday night's game in the bottom of the fifth inning after grimacing in pain following a 1-1 pitch to Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Domonic Brown. The team later diagnosed the injury as a strained flexor tendon.

General Manager Mike Rizzo said reports that the team will shut down Strasburg for the rest of the season are "inaccurate," saying no determination about Strasburg's immediate future will be made until the MRI results are in. Rizzo added Strasburg was seen Saturday night by a Phillies team physician, who administered a battery of hands-on strength and range-of-motion tests, all of which Strasburg passed.
