I know they brought Jordan Zimmerman back late last year from the same surgery. I’m not a Nationals fan so I don’t know exactly when he had the surgery but I remember watching him pitch against the Phillies wondering why they just didn’t shelve him to this year.

Is pitching in a meaningless September worth putting the rest of a promising career in jeopardy? Particularly given that the Nationals will be a dangerous team in a few years.
