Summary
The Nationals kick off their second-half road trip with a major-league debut: top prospect Harry Ford, called up to replace injured catcher Drew Millas, is poised to make his mark—especially against lefties like the A’s Gage Jump and Rockies’ Kyle Freeland. While his initial role is limited at-bats, his June-July hot streak and recovery from an early-season slump make him a promising addition. Meanwhile, reliever Max Kranick’s return from the IL bolsters the bullpen, giving the team a crucial boost as they head west. This move signals a key step in Ford’s development—and a bright spot for the Nationals’ future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
