Fernandez (biceps) threw a bullpen session Wednesday and remains on track to start against the Nationals on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Two days after tossing a simulated game, Fernandez got back onto the mound for more work, and manager Dan Jennings said the right-hander threw the ball "very well." Fernandez began experiencing shoulder tightness during his Aug. 7 outing, his seventh start back from Tommy John surgery, resulting in his placement on the 15-day DL.
