Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: A week away from throwing

Tetreault (shoulder) is about a week away from being cleared to throw off a mound, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Tetreault has been able to go through his throwing motion off a mound without a ball, and is just about ready to take the next step in his recovery. The 26-year-old is being brought along slowly this spring following a stress fracture in his right scapula suffered last July. He seems likely to get a late start to the season and figures to head to Triple-A Rochester to begin the year.
