JUPITER, Fla. — Six more decisions Wednesday morning moved the Washington Nationals near the end of their 25-man roster decisions.
Washington released reliever Vance Worley and optioned reliever Trevor Gott and starter A.J. Cole to Triple-A Syracuse, plus reassigned starter Jacob Turner, reliever Neal Cotts, and catcher Jhonatan Solano to minor-league camp.
Those moves leave three people for one spot. Jeremy Guthrie is the lone remaining bullpen option. The final bench choice appears to be down to infielder Wilmer Difo and outfielder Michael A. Taylor.
Keeping Guthrie would give the Nationals a long man in the bullpen.
