Carter Kieboom played in 16 of the Washington Nationals’ first 24 games, starting in 15, but skipper Davey Martinez has been trying to keep Asdrúbal Cabrera’s bat in the lineup too at either third, first, or as the designated hitter.
Martinez pencilled Cabrera in at third base for the series finale with the Miami Marlins last night, telling reporters in a pregame Zoom call from Nationals Park, he wanted to be sure that the veteran infielder was back in there after a day off on Sunday.
“We’re trying to keep [Cabrera] in there,” Martinez explained.
