Ford Optioned to Triple-A, Ruiz Stays with Nationals

Harry Ford, recently optioned to Triple-A by the Washington Nationals, was expected to make the Opening Day roster but was passed over in favor of Keibert Ruiz. Despite Ruizs long-term contract and decent spring training, his struggling bat led to Fords demotion. Fans are disappointed, as Fords power potential and strong performance in the World Baseball Classic and spring training were promising. However, the Nationals believe more seasoning in Triple-A will improve Fords defense, with a potential return in mid to late April, aligning with service time deadlines.
