Josh Johnson will return to the mound for the first time since a right arm injury halted his impressive rookie season when the Florida Marlins open a three-game interleague set with the struggling Chicago White Sox on Monday night.
Johnson, 23, has not pitched in the majors since Sept. 12, 2006, when he scattered three hits in five scoreless innings before exiting with a stiff biceps muscle as the Marlins (33-37) went on to lose 6-4 to the New York Mets. |

Canada Causing Problems
The Washington Nationals entered their three-game interleague series against the Toronto Blue Jays as one of the hottest road teams in baseball. Now, they're just hoping to leave Canada with one win.
The Nationals close a nine-game road trip looking to avoid a sweep against the Blue Jays on Sunday.
Washington (29-39) won 10 of its 12 road games from May 22-June 14. In that stretch, the Nationals averaged 6.3 runs while batting .298 as a team - dramatic improvements over their 3.1 runs per game and .222 team batting average prior to their surge. |
