Keibert Ruiz Catcher No. 1
When Rene Rivera went on the injured list Tuesday, the Nationals could have called up Keibert Ruiz, their top-ranked prospect. Instead, manager Dave Martinez wanted Ruiz to play every day at the Triple-A level, preparing him for an eventual call-up.
Ruiz should arrive in Washington before the end of the season. He’s hitting .310 in Triple-A this season, and he clubbed a home run in his first game for Rochester.
Josiah Gray Right-hander No. 2
Josiah Gray was the second headliner included in the deal for Scherzer and Turner, and he’s the second-ranked prospect in Washington’s farm system. Unlike Ruiz, though, Gray was immediately brought to Washington and started Monday night, throwing five innings while allowing one run.
