Davey Martinez acknowledged that the options to replace outfielder Michael A. Taylor on the roster right now are not ideal when he discussed the results of the MRI Taylor took, which revealed a strain of the left knee and hip the 27-year-old suffered on a diving play in the outfield earlier this week.
Juan Soto, Victor Robles, and Adam Eaton were projected to be the starting trio in the Nats’ outfield on Opening Day, with Taylor as the fourth outfielder. Andrew Stevenson is the only other outfielder on the 40-Man roster.
