WASHINGTON – Since he is not on Washington’s 40-man roster, infielder Jackson Cluff is one of the few Nationals’ prospects who was able to take part in both the 60-player pool at the alternate site in Virginia and Instructional League in Florida this month, (where MLB said players on the 40-Man could not participate, “except under certain circumstances.”).
The Nationals were slated to have an intrasquad game on Tuesday before breaking camp.
That means Cluff, 23, will head home on Wednesday to Utah – where he played in college at BYU.
