After a dismal performance by the Washington Nationals’ bullpen in their recent series against the New York Mets, the team needed some reinforcements. Before tonight’s game against the Miami Marlins, the organization called up right-handed pitcher Taylor Jordan to fill one of the spots in the bullpen:
This season, Jordan has appeared in four games and had one start with the Nats. He is 0-2 with a 5.29 ERA and he has not pitched in a Major League game since July 18 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 26-year-old right-hander spent the bulk of the season pitching at Triple-A Syracuse.
