Barrett welcomes chance to face first-place Braves
Aaron Barrett has already staged his own personal, tear-jerking comeback.
Now the veteran pitcher hopes to be part of another one with the Nationals - who have a key series this weekend at the first-place Braves, the team they are chasing in the National League East.
The series takes on special meaning for Barrett, 31, who has lived in the Atlanta area the past few winters. His family now includes his wife Kendyl and young daughter.
“It is going to be special,” Barrett told The Washington Times.
Barrett pitched 90 games out of the bullpen for Washington from 2014-15. However, arm and shoulder injuries kept him on the sidelines in 2016-17 before he returned to the minors last year.
