Cade Cavalli and Andrew Alvarez Shine as Washington Nationals Shuffle Catchers
Description
The Washington Nationals are seeing their young arms step up in a big way. Cade Cavalli bounced back with one of his strongest starts yet, while rookie Andrew Alvarez made history by throwing five scoreless innings in his MLB debut. With James Wood, Daylen Lile, Riley Adams, and Jacob Young all contributing at the plate, the Nationals showed flashes of the balanced lineup and pitching depth fans have been waiting for.
Off the field, the Nationals made moves behind the plate, signing veteran catcher Jorge Alfaro while optioning C.J. Stubbs back to Triple-A. Stubbs may be heading down, but his debut — catching a shutout and getting ejected in the same game — won’t be forgotten. With Keibert Ruiz on the rehab trail and MacKenzie Gore cleared to throw, the Washington Nationals are finding ways to stay competitive while showcasing the future of the franchise.
