Yu Darvish (elbow) threw a successful 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday afternoon.
Darvish told reporters afterward that it was the first time he felt no discomfort in his elbow from his first warm-up throw to his final pitch off the mound. The right-hander should soon advance to simulated work and then eventually a minor league rehab assignment. It's possible he could rejoin the Cubs' rotation before the end of August. Jul 31 - 6:21 PM

That sounds positive.  Are any towel sessions in the offing?

Wrong topic, but he either stinks or was acquired by IFA in trade.

Ugh, that $5 million option is a little more than I’d want to be paying Kintzler next season.  I was wondering why Washington would want to trade him.

Pretty interesting article there.  Thanks for posting.  The Nats still sound like a train wreck, though.

Hope springs eternal here, but maybe he can lend a hand to Chatwood in the pen...

He played the role of pitching coach, helping Tanner Roark and Gio Gonzalez with their mechanics during their struggles this season. His presence was felt.

Theo said Passan called him this AM unprompted to say Kintzler wasn't the source.

If he wants to go to Iowa for a month with no guarantee he'll get a roster spot once rosters expand, sure. It would be fun to stick it to the Cardinals if he gets it together in AAA.

If he wants to be on an MLB roster as soon as he signs, then let him go somewhere else.

Didn't he sign with someone already?
