Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on roster moves; All-Star Nats; & a Stephen Strasburg note...

Davey Martinez talked before the series finale in Texas about the side effect of getting good starting pitching recently: Some of his relievers were not getting a whole lot of work, which is a good thing, sure, but also something to monitor closely.

“For me it’s actually a good thing too,” the fifth-year manager explained, “… because that tells me that our starting pitchers are going deeper in the games, which is great. So, yeah, we definitely have to get some of these guys in there again. You don’t want them sitting for 9-10 days, so we’ll look for spots to get these guys in, but our starting pitching like I said, the last week has been doing really well, and I’m excited about that.
