Chad Cordero…done

…For the season. Nationals closer Chad Cordero will miss the rest of the season with a torn right labrum.

The team has not disclosed what caused the tear, but OTR believes that he hurt it doing something.

“I had a bullpen [session] on Thursday and I didn’t feel comfortable, and I said something about it,” Cordero said when reached by phone on Monday. “When I came off the [disabled list the first time], the shoulder was a little sore, but it was nothing.

“No pitcher gets away with [being healthy his entire career]. It’s just my turn. It’s better to get this fixed now.”

Cordero had been rehabbing his injury in Viera, FL (hi Ray and Sherry!), where the Nationals hold spring training.
