Nationals closer Doolittle to make rehab appearance

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nationals closer Sean Doolittle is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Friday night for Class A Potomac.
Doolittle, out since Aug. 18 with right knee tendinitis, threw a simulated game Wednesday with mixed results, saying he felt fine physically but that his execution mechanically wasn’t where he wanted it to be.
“I need to be sharper if I’m going to help this team when I come back,” said Doolittle, who is slated to pitch an inning at Frederick.
