VIDEO: Update on Strasburg
Davey Johnson gave an update before Saturday's game on Stephen Strasburg, confirming the right-hander is still on track to return June 16.

Local baseball players likely to be picked in MLB draft
Every year the Mid-Atlantic region produces a fair share of MLB prospects, especially Virginia which boasts one of the best college baseball programs in the country in the University of Virginia Cavaliers. This year there is no Ryan Zimmerman or Danny Hultzen, a prospect projected as a top ten pick, but there is significant depth. The Commonwealth once again has plenty of potential draft picks with Maryland chipping in a few as well.
Here is a look at local products expected to be drafted with their rankings in Baseball America’s top 500 list:
From the state of Virginia:
34 - RHP Connor Jones – Great Bridge HS (Chesapeake, Va.)
Virginia’s 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year, Jones is committed to play for Brian O’Connor and the Cavaliers in Charlottesville. He’ll have to decide if he wants to go pro or to college.
54 – 3B Chad Pinder – Virginia Tech
Pinder is a versatile hitter with a .321 average, 11 home runs, and 62 RBI for the Hokies in his junior year.
