Danny Rueckel Off the 40-Man

Nationals sent RHP Danny Rueckel outright to Double-A Harrisburg. In other words, Rueckel has been removed from the 40-man roster in preparation for roster expansion on September 1. I'm surprised no one took a chance on the 25-year old Rueckel. 9-5 3.89ERA 51G 6SV 74.0IP 81H 36R(32ER) 6HR 19BB 65K A moment of silence for Basil
