VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals manager Dusty Baker said the final spots on the team's bench and bullpen will not be decided until later this week, when the Nats host exhibition games against the Twins at Nationals Park.
The bench needs one more player to join Clint Robinson, Stephen Drew, Jose Lobaton and Michael Taylor, while the bullpen is in need of two relievers to join Jonathan Papelbon, Felipe Rivero, Shawn Kelly, Oliver Perez and Yusmeiro Petit.
"There are some things going down to the wire," Baker said before the Nationals defeated the Braves, 7-2, on Sunday.
