| Nationals GM Jim Bowden said Thursday that Nick Johnson will miss the rest of the season. It had been starting to look that way. Johnson's broken leg is supposed to be healed, but pain in his hip has proven to be too difficult of a setback for him to overcome. He's expected to undergo another surgery at some point, and there is concern about whether he'll be ready for the beginning of 2008. Don't think that Johnson's long-term outlook didn't play some role in the Nationals' decision to extend Dmitri Young. Aug. 16 - 5:52 pm et Source: Washington Post |
