  • Cut by Nats
    The Nationals released Robles on Saturday.

    Advice: Robles was designated for assignment Monday, and the Nationals will now opt to let him go rather than sending him outright to one of their minor-league affiliates. The 27-year-old has slashed .120/.281/.120 across 33 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he should be able to at least net a minor-league deal with another organization in need of outfield help.

    Advice: Yoshida progressed to taking on-field batting practice for the first time since landing on the injured list back in early May with a left thumb issue.

  • Steven Kwan not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Nationals
    Steven Kwan is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kwan will take a seat on Saturday afternoon with rookie southpaw Mitchell Parker toeing the rubber for Washington at Progressive Field. The 26-year-old contact-oriented outfielder didn’t show any signs of rust on Friday when he tallied three hits and reached base safely in four of his five plate appearances during his return from the injured list.
