Nationals' Blake Rutherford: Selected to MLB roster

The Nationals selected Rutherford from Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Rutherford has split time between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester, slashing .345/.395/.583 through 261 plate appearances between the two levels. The 26-year-old outfielder, a first-round pick of the Yankees back in 2016, will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.
