Stating the obvious, Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez told reporters after Kurt Suzuki injured his elbow on a throw to second base in Atlanta last weekend that the bulk of the playing time will go to Yan Gomes while Suzuki was out.
At some point, however, one of the other two catchers on the roster, either Raudy Read or Tres Barrera, will have to get in a game.
“Eventually we have to get them in there,” Martinez told reporters this week, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman.
