Back on November 3rd, the Washington Nationals added 26-year-old reliever Wander Suero to the 40-Man roster, leaving them with 25 players on the roster at that point.
This afternoon, the Nats announced they added two more players, 23-year-old third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez and 24-year-old right-hander Jefry Rodriguez to the 40-Man roster, protecting both from selection in the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.
Gutierrez put up a .288/.347/.414 line with 10 doubles, six triples and two homers for the High-A Potomac Nationals this season, then went to the Arizona Fall League.
In 13 games in the AFL, the corner infielder went 14 for 40 (.
