Washington Nationals Analysis: Nats Made Mistake Cutting Jose Valverde

On Monday, the Washington Nationals made the decision to call up 22-year-old right-handed reliever Abel De Los Santos from double-A Harrisburg. De Los Santos was called up for Blake Treinen, who has had an inconsistent 2015.

One of the main themes for the Nats bullpen has been the amount of young pitchers the team has had fill important roles. Whether it’s been Felipe Rivero, Matt Grace, Rafael Martin, and Taylor Jordan among others, Washington has relied on their youth to get some key outs.
