Nationals Select Jake Noll

By Steve Adams | March 27, 2019 at 5:42pm CDT

The Nationals announced Wednesday that they’ve selected the contract of infielder Jake Noll, who will occupy a bench spot and make his MLB debut when he first gets into a game. Washington also announced that righty Koda Glover (forearm strain), Howie Kendrick (left hamstring strain) and Michael A. Taylor (left knee/hip sprain) have all been placed on the 10-day injured list.

Noll, 25, was Washington’s seventh-round pick back in 2016 and impressed the organization with a strong spring effort: .320/.393/.520 with a pair of homers and four doubles in 56 plate appearances. A right-handed hitter, Noll split the 2018 campaign between Class-A Advanced and Double-A, slashing a combined .291/.341/.412 in 549 plate appearances. Defensively, he’s spent time at first base, second base and third base, so he’ll be a candidate to back up several spots around the diamond and give manager Dave Martinez a bit of versatility. Noll will join a Nationals bench that also includes first baseman/left fielder Matt Adams, infielder Wilmer Difo, catcher Kurt Suzuki and outfielder Andrew Stevenson.

As for the trio of Nats now officially on the injured list, there’s no clear timeline as to when any of the bunch will return. Kendrick is staying down in extended Spring Training after appearing in only five Grapefruit League contests. Glover was originally shut down due to said forearm strain in late February after tossing just a third of an inning in his lone spring appearance. Taylor is expected to miss a “significant” amount of time with his injury.

    Is Barrett going to make the team? He’s a good story to root for.

      i imagine he may get a call up during the year, should he remain healthy.

      Great story but was not effective at all. He can be proud to have made it this far but I’m afraid Monday was probably it for him.

    Congrats Jake! Always takes time before and after a game to talk with the fans and my family. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

      Well, some of these players reported to make the rosters are not well-known and may have debuted under the radar in past years. #commonsense

    I’m surprised they didn’t claim an OF. Andrew Stevenson kind of sucks and they don’t have much depth in the upper minors there with taylor’s Injury.

    Stevenson has always graded as a plus fielder, even in center, and he’s cheap and temporary.
