Nationals' Donovan Casey: Slated to join major-league club

Casey will be recalled by the Nationals on Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

It's not yet clear whether Casey will be able to join the team ahead of Thursday's game against the Pirates. However, he'll provide outfield depth for the major-league club after he hit .250 with a home run, two triples, two doubles, six RBI and four runs in six games at Triple-A Rochester to begin the year.
