Nationals' Chad Huffman: Joins Nationals on minors pact

The Nationals signed Huffman to a minor-league contract Thursday.

Huffman batted .247/.386/.437 with six home runs in 215 plate appearances for Triple-A Memphis. It doesn't look like he'll ever match the bases he stole in 2016, but he could provide useful depth for Washington if he's called up when rosters expand in September.
