Nationals' Adrian Sanchez: Contract selected by Nationals

Sanchez's contract was selected by the Nationals on Friday.

The 30-year-old returned from the injured list in mid-July, and he should now serve as a utility man for the big-league club after Trea Turner (illness) and Josh Harrison were recently traded. Sanchez has slashed .336/.385/.496 with four homers, 19 runs, 18 RBI and two stolen bases in 36 games at Triple-A Rochester this year.
