Ryan Langerhans will replace Austin Kearns as he goes on the 15 day DL. Langerhans batted .306 in Columbus and has always been a terrific defensive outfielder. He was miserable last year with the bat for the Nats but Washington is hoping he turns it around. He can’t do much worse then anyone they have been playing there.
Charlie Manning will replace Matt Chico (thank god) on the club, Chico will be demoted to triple A Columbus. At 29, Manning isn’t a prospect, but he has been excellent throwing 34 K’s in 27 2/3rds innings in Columbus with a 1.95 ERA.
Brian Sanches will replace Chris Schroder who was for the third time demoted to Columbus. Sanchez, also 29, has never had success in the majors (5.75 ERA) but has been very good this season in the minors. This move leaves the Nats without a lefty arm in the bullpen however.
