Nationals Trim Roster, Option Gray, Hassell, Others

The Washington Nationals have trimmed their roster, optioning right-handers Josiah Gray and Julian Fernandez, along with outfielder Robert Hassell III, to Triple-A Rochester. Gray, who missed time due to Tommy John surgery, will serve as a backup option if Mikolas or Irvin struggle early. Hassell, a left-handed hitter, faces competition in the crowded outfield and needs to improve his power or reduce strikeouts. Both players could return to the Nationals later this season if they excel in the minors. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
