Nationals’ Brian Goodwin had to be convinced before going on the disabled list

Brian Goodwin, who hurt his left wrist diving for a ball last canada goose uk outlet week, is on the disabled list retroactive to Monday night. Outfielder Andrew Stevenson, who made his major league debut last season, will take his place goose outlet on uk canada goose outlet the active roster.
Had Goodwin not pinch hit Sunday, the Nationals could have backdated his disabled list stint to the weekend, meaning he would be required to miss less time. But Dave Martinez said the trouble https://www.canadagooseoutlete.com/ was canada goose black friday sale off and on good enough to play one day, not good enough to play the next and eventually, he cheap Canada Goose and the team decided it was best to shut Goodwin down to avoid lingering trouble. Martinez said Goodwin needed convincing and did not seem Canada Goose Coats On Sale entirely convinced even as he discussed the move at his locker before the game.
“I’ve felt better,” Goodwin said. “I would feel a lot better if I were playing right now, but I’m not.”

He is hitting.250 with a.762 OPS, and had established himself as the regular fill Canada Goose Jackets in for Adam Eaton canada goose clearance sale before the canada goose factory sale injury. Now, Moises Sierra seems likely to get most time there until Eaton’s return.
The Nationals have already delved deep into their outfield depth, after Eaton suffered a bone bruise to his ankle that forced them to call up Sierra and Matt Reynolds.

Stevenson is an above average defender, but he is not major league ready offensively, and canada goose he and others in the organization admitted as much when injuries forced him into major league duty last season. Sierra has Canada Goose online chipped cheap canada goose uk in more than anyone could have hoped, but he canada goose store is not Robles, either. Eaton is eligible to come off the disabled list at the end of the week, and Martinez said uk canada goose he is optimistic the outfielder will do so.
Martinez canada goose clearance is Canada Goose sale also optimistic third baseman Anthony Rendon will not need to spend time on the disabled list, and so is Rendon.

He is not in the lineup Tuesday, which will be his fourth game missed due to the canada goose coats injury.
Trainers drilled into Rendon’s toenail to drain the blood, so now he is just dealing with the discomfort of a significant bruise. But he thinks he will be able to test the toe this week and return some time in the next few days.
