Washington Nationals Player Profile: Rafael Bautista

Yesterday, the Washington Nationals made the decision to call up Rafael Bautista when Adam Eaton on the ten day disabled list. Last night, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network reported that Eaton is done of the season with a torn ACL:

The Nats could’ve called up Brian Goodwin, who got some Major League experience last year. But, instead, they chose to go with Bautista while Michael Taylor gets the bulk of the playing time at center field.

Before being called up from triple-A Syracuse, the 24-year-old right-handed hitter was on a hot streak at the plate.
