Nationals make player cuts
The Washington Nationals made their first cuts of the spring and reduced their in-camp roster from 60 to 49.
Players who were cut include: Seth Greisinger, Chad Durbin, Luis Pineda, Micah Bowie, Josh Karp and Bill Bray; catcher Drew McMillan; infielders Rick Short, Jared Sandberg and Phil Hiatt; outfielder Brandon Watson.
There really were no big surprises in the cuts, with Karp, Bray and Watson needing more time in the minor leagues and the other players being minor league veterans who will help fill minor league rosters and provide injury insurance during the season.
General Manager Jim Bowden said the next round of cuts likely will come within the next week.
