Nationals closer Drew Storen will start the season on the DL because of trouble in his right elbow. Manager Davey Johnson said Wednesday that Storen wouldn't be ready for Opening Day on April 5. Storen played catch Tuesday for the first time in a week and felt no pain in his inflamed elbow. "I know his arm is in pretty good shape right now, but if it's a slow rehab, hopefully, being cautious, maybe (he's be ready) mid-April," Johnson said. "Maybe I'm being overly hopeful."
