The Washington Nationals called 22-year-old right-hander Abel de Los Santos up from Double-A Harrisburg today and optioned right-handed reliever Blake Treinen to Triple-A Syracuse. Jayson Werth was placed on the 60-Day DL to make room on the 40-Man.
With the Washington Nationals trailing 1-0 after eight innings in Sunday's series finale with the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers, Nats' skipper Matt Williams brought Blake Treinen out of the bullpen. After Justin Turner, Joc Pederson, Andre Ethier, A.J. Ellis and Yasiel Puig singled off the right-handed reliever, he was lifted from what was then a 5-0 game in L.A.'s favor, though the Puig single was at least playable, though well-struck.
