Wire Taps: Washington Nationals happy to have Ryan Zimmerman back; Josh Bell and Kyle Schwarber talk + more...

When Davey Martinez jots down potential lineup configurations, do they all have Josh Bell hitting behind Juan Soto? Is that what we’re going to see from the Nationals’ manager this season?

“It’s a very strong possibility. I mean, the reason why we got him is he’s hit cleanup before, so regardless of where we’re going to hit Soto, it looks kind of nice to have a switch-hitter behind Juan. A guy that can swing the bat, a guy that can drive the ball, so I think for right now we’re going to try it and see where we’re at.
