Washington Nationals announce NLCS roster for matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals

Victor Robles hasn’t played since injuring his right hamstring running out a bunt in Game 2 of the NLDS, and Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez told reporters on Wednesday, before Game 5 in LA, that the 21-year-old outfielder was still working his way back to full strength, and they didn’t want to rush it.

“We watched, Vic worked out yesterday. Watched him, he’s better, just not quite there. He’s definitely available to pinch hit. But he’s one of our young unbelievable players. And the way he plays, if you see him play every day there’s no — he can tell you he’s going to try to go 80% or something, but he can’t, he is just not that kind of player.
