Wire Taps: Washington Nationals have day off; Dan Kolko is back; the Nats’ final roster spot(s) + more...

After an 0 for 3 (2 strikeout) night at the plate on Tuesday, Carter Kieboom is now 0 for his last 9, and overall on the spring, the 23-year-old third baseman is 4 for 25 (.160/.222/.240), with a triple for his only extra base hit in Grapefruit League action. Is his manager, Davey Martinez, worried that the 2016 1st Round pick is pressing as he tries to prove that he can handle being an everyday player in the majors after struggling in a short stint in 2019 and a short season in 2020.

“For me, I’m not — down in Spring Training I don’t look for results as far as getting hits and stuff,” Martinez said.
