Former Northview and Troy standout Clint Robinson will start the season for the Washington Nationals AAA team in Syracuse after clearing waivers, announced the Nationals late Friday.
Robinson, who played the last two years with the Nationals’ big-league club, was placed on waivers by Washington on Tuesday. A major league team could have picked up Robinson during the 72-hour waiver window, but no teams did, leaving Robinson with the Nationals. He accepted the team’s assignment for AAA.
