WASHINGTON – The lines of communication between Nationals manager Davey Martinez and his counterpart at Triple-A Rochester may be working overtime this week.
That is because Dee Strange-Gordon, a veteran infielder/outfielder who turned 34 on Friday, began a rehab assignment on Tuesday with the Red Wings in upstate New York.
The manager for Rochester is Matt LeCroy, a former catcher for the Twins and Nationals.
“I will stay in touch with Matt and see how (Strange-Gordon) does every day,” Martinez said here Tuesday afternoon before the Nationals began a three-game series with the Miami Marlins.
