24 Kurt Suzuki, C

Nationals Manager Davey Johnson said he has not heard from the league office regarding any possible discipline for catcher Kurt Suzuki's actions Sunday. Suzuki was ejected from Sunday's series finale against the Cubs after arguing with home-plate umpire John Tumpane about balls and strikes.

"I don't think there will be much to that," Johnson told MLB.com. "[Tumpane] had a generous strike zone. Frustrations comes out with those."

Suzuki entered Monday's series opener against the Dodgers hitting .243/.329/.419 with two home runs and nine RBI over 74 at-bats.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson has the luxury of having two starting catchers -- Wilson Ramos and Kurt Suzuki -- at his disposal. As far as how he will decide how to split the playing time moving forward, Johnson said he's open to multiple approaches, including riding the hot hand.

However, Johnson doesn't expect to assign a personal catcher to certain pitchers.

"I really think both those guys, Suzuki and Ramos, are very well prepared, going over scouting reports. They've caught everybody, and we've been successful with whoever we've got behind the dish," Johnson said, per MLB.com. "I've talked to the pitching coach, [Steve] McCatty, when I've had a question about who to catch, you know, 'Is there a pitcher preference?' And by and large, his reply was, 'No, they like throwing to both of them.'"
