Olsen out for season
WASHINGTON — Washington Nationals left-hander Scott Olsen will have surgery Thursday to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and will miss the rest of the season. The Nationals put Olsen on the disabled list Sunday. The decision to do the surgery was made after he was examined by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., Monday. Olsen made 11 starts for the Nationals, going 2-4 with a 6.03 ERA in 622/3 innings.
