Washington Nationals’ skipper Dusty Baker did not share what the corresponding move was going to be, but he did confirm last night, after the Nats’ 7-6 win over the Phillies, that it would be Jeremy Guthrie starting against Philadelphia at 7:05 PM EDT tonight in Citizens Bank Park.
“It’s Guthrie tomorrow, and so we have to make a move tomorrow to activate him,” Baker said.
The Nationals announced the moves this afternoon, selecting Guthrie’s contract and optioning Michael A. Taylor to Triple-A Syracuse to make room on the major league roster.
