Donovan Casey joined the Washington Nationals on April 15th in Pittsburgh, and the 26-year-old outfielder, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers as one of the four prospects in the Max Scherzer/Trea Turner deal last July 30th, was with the Nats through the series in PNC Park and the first two games with the Arizona Diamondbacks this week, before he was optioned back to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday night, having never in that time taken the field for what would have been his MLB debut.
Nats’ skipper Davey Martinez did try to let him know before he returned to Rochester, that he still figures in the club’s plans, likely in the near future.
