| Tue Jun 8 2010 | 16:04 | Nationals DFA Burke in flurry of roster moves | ||||
Nationals designated C Jamie Burke for assignment. | ||||||
Burke, 28, was called up to the big leagues on June 5 to to serve as an emergency catcher for the Nats in the absence of Carlos Maldonado, who was placed on the disabled list. Burke didn't register an at-bat. | ||||||
| Sat Jun 5 2010 | 15:22 | Nationals recalled Burke for catching depth | ||||
Nationals purchased the contract of C Jamie Burke from Triple-A Syracuse. | ||||||
Burke has played just six games for Triple-A Syracuse this season, but the Nationals need some depth after Carlos Maldonado hit the disabled list. Ivan Rodriguez should be back by the end of next week, so it's unlikely that Burke will see much, if any, game action, but he'll be with the team just in case. | ||||||
