Before Sunday afternoon’s game, the Washington Nationals made a series of roster moves, bringing Austin Voth and Kyle McGowin back up to the majors, designating Javy Guerra for assignment, and optioning Andrew Stevenson to Triple-A Rochester. Following the loss to Milwaukee in the finale with the Brewers, Nats’ skipper Davey Martinez was asked why, in the midst of a roster reboot that has the club going with something of a youth movement, they would option Stevenson out while keeping a veteran like Gerardo Parra in the big leagues?
“We all know what Parra brings to the clubhouse,” Martinez explained.
