WASHINGTON — Left-hander DJ Herz walked around Nationals Park and ran into some familiar faces Friday. But those faces weren’t wearing the same jersey he was.

Herz, who was dealt from the Cubs to the Nationals at the trade deadline last season for infielder Jeimer Candelario, reconnected with center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, reliever Porter Hodge, reliever Daniel Palencia and infielder Luis Vazquez, whom he played with at Double-A Tennessee.
