Is there any chance the Washington Nationals will call up John Lanaan to pitch in September?

What is his expected “progress track?”

I'm not sure they'd consider activating his option clock.</p> Brian - There is always a chance he could be up in September, but the Nationals do not need to add him to the 40-man roster until next year.

His four-run inning could/should have been a 1-2-3 inning, but mistakes (partly his own) extended the inning and flustered him just a bit. The first guy reached on a third-strike wild pitch, and the next guy tried a sac bunt that neither he nor catcher John Suomi fielded, so it went for a single. It was one of those "You got it, no, you got it!" plays. Then the third batter grounded out to third. The damage came after that via a hard single and a home run.</p> <p>Balester has been very impressive all season. While his record doesn't show it, he's had quality stuff in every start.</p> Brian:
