Nationals' Ryan Raburn: Close to callup

Raburn is expected to be called up to the majors Monday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

With Jayson Werth (toe) likely landing on the DL, sources say that Raburn will meet the Nationals in Los Angeles prior to Monday's series opener with the Dodgers. No timetable for Werth's return has been revealed, but Raburn will likely fill a platoon role with Brian Goodwin in the meantime.
