Washington Nationals Rumors: Will Nats’ GM Mike Rizzo find another center fielder... or a reliever? Or both?

In two games since taking over in center field following Adam Eaton’s injury (diagnosed as a full thickness tear of the ACL, a meniscus tear and high ankle sprain that effectively ended his 2017 campaign), Washington Nationals’ outfielder Michael A. Taylor is 5 for 11 with a double, three runs scored and three Ks.

Dusty Baker was asked, after Taylor’s 2 for 6 game in Washington’s 23-5 win over the New York Mets on Sunday, if he was seeing anything different from the 26-year-old, four-year veteran, who was 2 for 21 with nine Ks in 13 games (four starts), before Eaton injured his left knee.
