Ross (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday or Wednesday during the Nationals' current series with the Rockies, Byron Kerr of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Depending on how the bullpen session goes, Ross may be ready for a rehab assignment soon. He has been out since July 2 due to the shoulder injury, and if he isn't ready to start pitching soon, he may struggle to return. Minor league seasons will be ending in late August and early September, which will make it hard for him to find an opportunity to shake the rust off before making a return to the rotation. We'll know more about the club's plan for Ross after his bullpen session.
