Yoyo is back!!!
Given the dumpster fire that is the Nats bullpen, Brzykcy may get another MLB shot sooner than later.
Looks like the Nats may have found their next Victor Robles in Caleb Lomavita.
In his last year at Cal, Lomavita reached base on a HBP 17 times in 55 games (227 ABs). To start his professional career, Caleb has 9 HBPs in 30 games (103 ABs). Whatever it takes….
