• Nationals left-hander Matt Purke is getting another opinion on his elbow. He is expected to see the doctor after the Memorial Day weekend. It's not known which doctor he will see. One thing is certain; it's not Dr. James Andrews, according to a baseball source.

Purke is off to a slow start for Double-A Harrisburg, going 1-6 with an 8.04 ERA in eight starts.
