WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Alex Avila has caught 187 different pitchers in 902 regular season games since his 2009 major league debut. That s naturally turned his brain into a dusty filing cabinet of the most minute details. At one point, about 10 years ago, it was consumed by Justin Verlander s curve or Aníbal Sánchez s change-up. In recent seasons, he calculated the best ways for Zack Greinke or Archie Bradley to use their fastballs.
And along the way, in stints with the Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks, he stored tons of information on Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin that could now serve him and the Washington Nationals well. Avila is the team s new backup catcher after signing a one-year, $1.5 million contract in late January. He is expected to start a maximum of two times per week to spell Yan Gome ....

The Capitals were coming off a 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday, and their rally from a two-goal deficit against the Devils allowed them to salvage what could have been a disastrous weekend. ....

Just days into spring training, and with some holes on the edges of their roster, the Washington Nationals have added veteran reliever Jeremy Jeffress on a minor league contract.

On Monday afternoon, Manager Dave Martinez confirmed that the Nationals had reached an agreement with Jeffress. Martinez added that Jeffress now has to pass coronavirus intake screening and a standard physical.
