| June 21, 2007 The Nationals activated Luis Ayala from the 60-day disabled list on Wednesday. He had been out since undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2006. |
| June 20, 2007 Luis Ayala will be activated from the 60-day disabled list Friday, the AP reports. Ayala hasn't pitched for Washington since 2005 because of right elbow surgery, so maintain a healthy bit of skepticism here. |
| June 2, 2007 Luis Ayala worked an inning of relief for Single-A Potomac on Friday. It was the first outing of his rehab assignment, according to the Washington Post. He's recovering from Tommy John surgery and is expected to use up his full 30 allotted days on the rehab stint. |
| May 31, 2007 Luis Ayala took a big step on Wednesday. He threw a bullpen session on told the Washington Post that he's "100 percent." Ayala will begin a minor league rehab assignment soon, and he is expected to take the full 30 days. He missed the entire 2006 season due to Tommy John surgery and is still rehabbing his right elbow. |
| April 25, 2007 Luis Ayala pitched a scoreless inning in extended spring training Tuesday, touching 89 mph with his fastball, the Washington Post reports. GM Jim Bowden said the outing was encouraging, though he still wants Ayala to remain in the warm weather as he comes back from elbow surgery. |
| April 18, 2007 Luis Ayala threw an inning against live hitters in extended spring training Monday, the Washington Post reports. He's coming back from Tommy John surgery. |
| April 11, 2007 Luis Ayala will throw one inning, approximately 20 pitches, in extended spring training Thursday, according to the AP. The Nationals don't expect Ayala, who missed all of 2006 following Tommy John surgery, to return earlier than mid May. |
| April 2, 2007 Luis Ayala will stay at the Nationals training facility in Florida for most of this month, and perhaps into May, the Washington Post reports. He's coming back from elbow surgery. |
| March 23, 2007 Luis Ayala will begin the year on the disabled list, the Nationals official site reports. He's coming back from elbow surgery. Ayala worked one inning in an intrasquad game Friday, allowing one run and one hit. |
| March 15, 2007 Luis Ayala is likely to begin the year on the DL as he recovers from elbow surgery, according to the Washington Post. "We have to make conservative decisions based on the injury that he's overcoming," GM Jim Bowden said. "I expect him to start the year on the disabled list. I won't rule out the possibility of that changing, but as of today, the projection on my board is that he would start the year on the disabled list." |
| March 12, 2007 Luis Ayala hasn't had any setbacks in his recovery from reconstructive elbow surgery, but the Nats aren't sure if he will be ready for big league action when the season begins, according to the Washington Post. "He's going to have another simulated game, and we'll go from there," manager Manny Acta said. |
| February 17, 2007 Luis Ayala was able to toss a bullpen session on Friday, according to the Washington Post. "I feel strong in my arm," Ayala said. "I threw the ball good." Ayala missed all of last season following ligament replacement surgery in his pitching elbow. |
