The promotion came after former head trainer Paul Lessard accepted the same position with the Nationals, a move that was also formally announced on Tuesday. Lessard had already accepted the job before former Reds manager Dusty Baker became Washington's skipper earlier this month.
Assistant trainer Tomas Vera will return, as will strength and conditioning coordinator Sean Marohn. Vera has been on the big league medical staff for six seasons and has also served as a Spanish-language translator for players such as Johnny Cueto, Aroldis Chapman and Raisel Iglesias. Marohn has been with the big league club for two seasons.
