The Nationals are about to send their next class of prospects to the Arizona Fall League in a month. That class is highlighted by top prospect Victor Robles.
This is the final game of August before teams can expand their rosters on September 1st and call in the reserves from the Minor Leagues for the final 29 games of the season. Each call-up must be on the 40-man roster.
Tonight’s game in Milwaukee begins the first of a four game series against the Brewers who are fighting for their post-season lives. The Nationals will start Cy Young hopeful Gio Gonzalez and the Brewers will counter with rightie Zach Davies.
The Nationals have as close as they have been in months to a full line-up and are just missing Bryce Harper and Adam Eaton. Their replacements are essentially Adam Lind and Michael Taylor.
