Nasim Nuñez, the Washington Nationals’ 2023 Rule 5 Draft pick, appeared in 17 games (just 3 starts), going 0 for 10 with a walk in 11 plate appearances before he connected for his first hit in the majors Wednesday afternoon in Petco Park.
Nu0169nez’s manager Davey Martinez said in his post game presser, following the loss in the series finale with the San Diego Padres, he did not tell the 23-year-old infielder he would get an at-bat until it was time to go to the on-deck circle.
“I didn’t want to tell him,” Martinez said.
