The Nats made several changes today.
BULLPEN-BY-COMMITTEE
One day after watching the bullpen blow a four-run lead, the Nationals decided Tuesday that right-hander Joel Hanrahan will no longer be their closer and that right-hander Garrett Mock is out as the eighth-inning setup man.
The team will go with a bullpen-by-committee, with right-handers Julian Tavarez and Kip Wells as the late-inning options. Once left-hander Joe Beimel is activated from the disabled list next week, he will most likely be the closer, with Tavarez and Wells becoming the setup men.
HARRIS BACK/MAXWELL OUT
Willie Harris was activated from the DL today and is back in a new role - primarily outfielder. Justin Maxwell was sent back to AAA Syracuse.
GUZMAN BACK TOMORROW?
According to Nats Journal, Washington will activate Cristian Guzman (left hamstring strain). That move will send either Alberto Gonzalez or Alex Cintron back to Class AAA.
