The Washington Nationals today selected outfielder Corey Patterson from Syracuse of the Triple-A International League, placed outfielder Josh Willingham on the Bereavement List and transferred right-handed pitcher Terrell Young to the 60-Day DL. Nationals Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo made the announcement.
After a slow start this season, Patterson has batted .302 (35-for-116) with eight doubles, six home runs and 23 RBI over a 39-game span in May and June. His eight stolen bases in '09 are tied for the Chiefs team lead.
