OKay, so this is getting really, really real. As in, the Nationals could hypothetically (though, most likely won’t) clinch tomorrow. It’s September 8th, by the way.
Here’s the news from Nats Park.
Nats call up Robles for stretch run
The team's top prospect, and a universal top-10 major league prospect, is getting the call. At least for a month.
Victor Robles finally gets the call
Bad news: Brian Goodwin is probably done for the year. Good news? With not too much high-stakes baseball left in the regular season, the Nats get to take their prized prospect for a big-league test drive.
