Sean Doolittle Says Foot Injury Is Behind Him
Dec. 2, 2018
.Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) is confident that his foot injury is behind him and has new inserts for his cleats. Doolittle missed most of the second half with a stress reaction in his foot, but he was lights-out when he was healthy. The left-hander posted a 1.60 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, 25 saves and 60 K's in 45 innings. He'll be a top-tier fantasy closer heading into the 2019 season.
Nationals Pick Up Sean Doolittle's Option
Oct. 29, 2018
.The Washington Nationals picked up closer Sean Doolittle's $6 million option for the 2019 season, according to people familiar with the situation. Doolittle missed some of the second half of the season with a foot injury, but the left-hander was one of the most dominant ninth-inning men in baseball when he was healthy, posting a 1.60 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, 25 saves and 60 strikeouts in 45 innings in 34 outings. Doolittle will be a high-end fantasy closing option in 2019.

Nationals Activate Sean Doolittle
Sep. 7, 2018
.The Washington Nationals activated closer Sean Doolittle (foot) from the disabled list on Friday. Doolittle has been out for the last two months, so the Nats may ease him back into the ninth-inning role. The left-hander should still be owned everywhere, though, as he had posted a clean 1.45 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, 22 saves and 49 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings before his injury.

Sean Doolittle Throws Successful Simulated Game
Sep. 5, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) threw a successful simulated game on Wednesday and is set to be activated from the disabled list this weekend. It's unclear if Doolittle will be put right back into the ninth inning, but he should still be owned in all leagues after sporting a 1.45 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, 22 saves and 49 K's in 37 1/3 innings. Koda Glover has been the main ninth-inning option of late with Doolittle sidelined.

Sean Doolittle Could Return To Nationals This Week
Sep. 2, 2018
In an update to an earlier news post, Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that closer Sean Doolittle could be activated from the disabled list early this week, per MLB.com's Jamal Collier. Doolittle is currently 81% owned, which means he is out there in some leagues. Given this recent news, those interested in saves should pick Doolittle up at this time if he happens to be on the waiver wire.
Sean Doolittle Pitches Another Sim Game Sunday
Sep. 2, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (toe) said that he felt Sunday's simulated game was an improvement over Friday's, per the Washington Post's Chelsea Janes. Doolittle has been out since the beginning of July with left toe inflammation, and while he said his foot felt fine today, nothing was mentioned about next steps for recovery. With injuries plaguing the Nationals bullpen, it looks like Justin Miller may be the guy to own until either Doolittle or Kelvin Herrera return to the team.

Sean Doolittle Throws Simulated Game Friday
Aug. 31, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) was encouraged with his simulated game on Friday and will throw another one on Sunday or Monday. Doolittle is finally nearing a return and could return to the ninth-inning role sometime next week if he avoids setbacks. With Doolittle still out, Kelvin Herrera done for the year and Ryan Madson now with the Dodgers, Koda Glover should continue to be the favorite for save chances in D.C. until Doolittle is back.

Sean Doolittle Throws Encouraging Bullpen Session
Aug. 28, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session in Philadelphia on Tuesday and said it's the best he's felt. The first three or four bullpen sessions he threw after landing on the disabled list had to be cut short. He will now throw a simulated game at Nats Park on Friday. It looks like the left-hander could return to the team sometime next week, which is great news for his fantasy owners. Doolittle had been one of the best closers in baseball before his injury, and he should immediately return to ninth-inning duties. Until then, Koda Glover, Ryan Madson and Justin Miller could share save chances.

Sean Doolittle Feels OK After Bullpen
Aug. 19, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) said he just "felt OK" and not great during his last bullpen session. There remains no timetable for Doolittle's return, although he should be able to make it back sometime next month. The left-hander was one of the best closers in baseball before his injury, so he should return to the role when he's ready. Continue stashing him in the meantime. Koda Glover is the main ninth-inning option for now, but reliever Kelvin Herrera is on track to possibly return next week and could also be an option for saves.

Sean Doolittle Throws Off Mound
Aug. 14, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) threw off a mound Tuesday and is testing some mechanical adjustments that will allow him to pitch the rest of the year without further damaging his foot. That's not the most encouraging update. The Nationals desperately need their closer back with Kelvin Herrera and Ryan Madson also landing on the disabled list. There remains no timetable for Doolittle's return, and he's been out since July 6. He was one of the best fantasy closers before his injury, so fantasy owners are just hoping he can return eventually. If you're desperate for saves, Koda Glover should be your next target until Doolittle returns.

Sean Doolittle Throwing Off Flat Ground Wednesday
Aug. 8, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) threw off flat ground without a boot on Wednesday and was encouraged with how he felt. However, he is aware that he cannot rush himself back. Doolittle was one of the best closers in baseball before his injury, sporting a 1.45 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, 11.8 K/9 and 22 saves. He should remain stashed in all leagues, but his return isn't imminent. With Kelvin Herrera (shoulder) also going on the disabled list, veteran Ryan Madson should see most of the save chances for the foreseeable future.

Sean Doolittle Has Stress Reaction In Foot
Jul. 22, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) had an MRI exam reveal a "stress reaction" in the bridge of his foot, which is comparable to a bone bruise. There is no timetable for his return, but he was told he'd be out for "weeks, not months." Doolittle has been one of the best fantasy closers this year, but his owners will have to wait a little longer for his return. Keep him stashed everywhere. Kelvin Herrera should see most of the save chances in the meantime, but veteran reliever Ryan Madson could also mix in occasionally.

Sean Doolittle Throws on Flat Ground Monday
Jul. 16, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (toe) was able to throw off flat ground during batting practice on Monday. According to Chelsea Janes, Doolittle said he was fine throwing and thinks his DL stint will be short. The Nats placed Doolittle on the DL due to a pinched nerve in a toe on his left foot. It sounds like the team was being cautious, but there should be a good chance that Doolittle returns following the All-Star break. Kelvin Herrera will continue to get the ninth inning until Doolittle is ready to return.
Sean Doolittle Playing Catch Friday
Jul. 13, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) is wearing cleats and playing catch on Friday. Doolittle is on the disabled list with a pinched nerve in his foot but should be ready to rejoin the team for the start of the second half of the season. The southpaw has been one of the best closers in the game this year, sporting a 1.45 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and 11.8 K/9 to go along with 22 saves in 37 1/3 innings. Ryan Madson picked up a save Thursday, but Kelvin Herrera is still the best bet for saves until Doolittle returns.
Sean Doolittle Will Not Pitch in All-Star Game
Jul. 10, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle, who was just placed on the 10-day disabled list with a toe injury, will not pitch in the All-Star game. His injury is still considered minor however and he is expected to return immediately after the All-Star break. Brandon Kintzler or Kelvin Herrera should be in line for saves and both are worth a pickup in mixed leagues.
