最近於國民隊３Ａ投復建賽的王建民終於回來了，在中繼投手Ryan Mattheus進入１５天傷兵名單的同時，教練決定讓王建民先回到牛棚，改日再回到先發陣容裡。

今年國民隊的戰績能在國聯東區領先的主要原因，的確是投手戰力有所增強，而Ryan Mattheus也適時給予支援，他在上場的１９場比賽中，２０局被敲出１９支安打失６分中僅５分責失分，三振１３次保送７次，拿下２勝１敗６中繼成功的紀錄，這個中繼位置受傷，加上今年還在養傷的守護神Drew Storen與Brad Lidge，王建民將在牛棚開始他的２０１２年國民隊投球。

王建民先前也說願意接受國民隊將他先定位於任何位置，目前國民隊最缺的位置就在於中繼投手位置，在開季五位先發投手都投的不錯情況下，只好讓即將離開３Ａ復建賽的王建民上來，這樣讓王建民被迫接手並不熟析的中繼位置，但這也是另外一種轉變，也是一種轉機。

依照規定，５月２７日就要離開３Ａ的王建民原本在２５日將會投最後一場復建賽，但如今提早被拉上大聯盟會不適應嗎？應該是不會，而最快可能在今明兩天就上場中繼的王建民，總教練也說最多讓王建民投一局，看來王建民短期在牛棚出賽的日子應該也有不少的機會，就讓眼尖的球迷注意看看囉。

PHILADELPHIA -- The Nationals have activated right-hander Chien-Ming Wang from the 15-day disabled and placed reliever Ryan Mattheus on the 15-day DL on Tuesday, according to a source.

Wang, who will be a long reliever, was slated to be the fifth starter in Washington's rotation, but he started the season on the disabled list because of a strained left hamstring. He said last week that he was willing to work out of the bullpen as long as the team gave him advance warning so he could prepare. Wang has worked out of the bullpen five times during his career, all coming when he played for the Yankees.

Mattheus is being shelved because of plantar fasciitis. According to MLB.com's Paul Hagen, Mattheus started to feel discomfort in his left foot while running in the outfield before Monday night's game against the Phillies and was not available to pitch.

Wang's scoreless outing
Mattheus had an X-ray and was expected to visit a foot specialist in Baltimore on Tuesday. Mattheus has been a productive pitcher this season, going 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 19 games.
