Dee Strange-Gordon returned to the majors last night, reinstated from the IL and recalled to the majors after a short stint at Triple-A Rochester for the 34-year-old veteran who played in three games for Washington at the start of the season, before an undisclosed illness landed him on the 10-Day IL.
Strange-Gordon signed a minor league deal with the Nationals this winter and made the Opening Day roster out of Spring Training before the setback, but his manager, Davey Martinez, was excited the veteran utility man was ready to come back up and contribute at the big league level, as the club hoped he would when he made the team.
