HARRISBURG, Pa. – A minor leaguer since 2014 with the Nationals, catcher Jakson Reetz finally got the call to the major leagues in July.
With injuries to veterans Alex Avila and Yan Gomes (since traded to Oakland), Washington summoned Reetz on July 10 from Triple-A Rochester.
“It was great to see him get an opportunity in the big leagues,” Double-A Harrisburg manager Tripp Keister told Federal Baseball here on Friday before the Senators lost in 10 innings to the Bowie Baysox.
Reetz made his debut on July 10 at San Francisco and has one hit two at-bats this year with Washington.
