Nationals' Manny Burriss: Reassigned to minor league camp

Burriss was reassigned to minor league camp Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN reports.

The veteran latched on with the Nationals on a minor league deal this winter and struggled to get on base this spring (.290 OBP) despite striking out just once in 28 at-bats. The Nationals' depth up the middle meant that Burriss was a long shot to crack the Opening Roster when he signed. He'll head to minor league camp and will likely start the season with Triple-A Syracuse.
