Nearing rehab assignment
Nationals manager Blake Butera said Friday that Early (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Sept. 8, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
Analisi
Early threw a bullpen session Friday, a continuance of his throwing program as he progresses in his recovery from left elbow inflammation and forearm tightness. He'll embark on a rehab assignment in early September, so there's still a chance that the 24-year-old southpaw will pitch in the majors before the end of the 2026 season.

Resumes mound work
Early (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Danielle Allentuck of The Washington Post reports.
Analisi
Early encountered a setback in early August when he experienced minor left forearm tightness during a live batting practice session. The left-hander has now resumed mound work as he looks to join the Nationals rotation sometime in September. Early hasn't pitched in a game since late June, when he was still a member of the Red Sox before he was traded to the Nationals on July 26.
