Nats’ Redding Proceeds With Caution – The Post
Maybin comes through in Marlins’ win against Nationals – Florida Today
Last year, Tim Redding had a dreadful spring, causing him to start the season at AAA Columbus. He didn’t fare much better there and his promotion to the majors was an illustration of just how bad things were for Washington. Then a funny thing happened — Redding became a dependable starter with an ERA under four over 15 starts.

This spring, Redding is pitching better, just last night he gave up only one hit over five innings. I think it must be the peanut butter cookies and cream ice cream.

Redding’s outing was for naught though, as Saul Rivera blew the Nats 1-0 lead by giving up a 2-run homer to Florida’s Cameron Maybin.

Peña’s Status In Doubt After Muscle Strain – The Post
Wily Mo Peña strained his left oblique muscle during BP yesterday. This will likely shut him down for a few weeks, giving Elijah Dukes the opportunity to become the everyday leftfielder for a while.

Speaking of strained obliques, Dmitri Young made his 2008 Grapefruit League debut after dealing that injury and picked up two hits and a walk. Good to see his girth hasn’t hurt his swing.

Guzman still may pay off – The Wash. Times
