Tom Gorzelanny Injury: Elbow Injury Sends National To DL

The most effective, though? Left-hander Tom Milone isn’t on the Nationals’ 40-man roster, but he was the organization’s Pitcher of the Year in 2010, and this year in 43 AAA innings he’s struck out 44 batters and walked three. According to John Sickels, Milone throws just 85-87, “but he has a good breaking ball, an excellent changeup ... scouts remain skeptical that he can remain this effective in the majors.”

Soon, Milone might get his chance.
