When you look at the Washington Nationals bullpen, it has improved by leaps and bounds since the All-Star break. The headlines are going to be around the trio the team traded for (Brandon Kintzler, Ryan Madson, and Sean Doolittle). However, Sammy Solis being healthy shouldn’t be overlooked.
2017 started off rough for Solis. In April, he went on the disabled list due to inflammation in his left elbow. He ended up being out until July 1 and then went back down to Triple-A nine days later.
While it is only seven outings, the second half has been much more kinder to Solis than the first half.
