Clayton Beeter Eyes Return After Scoreless Rehab Outing

Clayton Beeter (forearm) is nearing a return to the Washington Nationals' roster, potentially as early as later this week. The right-hander took a significant step forward on Saturday, tossing a scoreless inning for Triple-A Rochester. During the outing, he allowed just one hit while striking out one batter. His progress is a positive sign for the Nationals' pitching depth as they look to integrate him back into the staff following his recovery from forearm issues and minor league rehab assignments.
