Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Nats’ bullpen mix; Carl Edwards, Jr.; and Dash Gordon...

Davey Martinez talked before the series opener in Cincinnati about potentially using lefty Evan Lee in relief on his bullpen day between starts, with one lefty, Josh Rogers, in a right-hand heavy relief corps right now.

“We told [Lee] to be ready for the five days,” Martinez explained, essentially green-lighting a second start for the 24-year-old lefty who made his MLB debut in Citi Field.

“We’ll see what transpires in those other days. We also — for me, we’ve got one lefty in the bullpen, and it’s [Lee’s] bullpen day, we might keep him back, and put him in the bullpen for that day.
