The Nationals signed left-handed pitcher Alex Young to a minor league deal on May 13 to bolster bullpen depth.
Young, a former second-round pick in 2015 by the Reds, has MLB experience with a 4.34 ERA over 277 2/3 innings.
If healthy, Young could factor into Washington’s bullpen and potentially earn a call-up later this season.
The Nationals placed him in the Florida Complex League to ongoingly develop before any major league moves.
The bullpen has been shuffled this season as every reliever except one carries minor league options.
The report notes the bullpen’s ERA and optionable arms could lead to more changes this season.
Brad Wakai authored the piece, focusing on Nationals’ bullpen moves and Young’s potential impact.
Young previously played 177 MLB games, including 25 starts, before his elbow injury.
The Nationals’ minor league affiliate system will be a pathway for Young’s rehab and potential call-up.
The report frames the move as a low-risk signing typical of the Nationals’ approach this offseason.
