That changed Thursday night, when he received a phone call in Cincinnati informing him
The 31-year-old Naquin’s addition came at Travis Jankowski’s expense. Jankowski was designated for assignment to clear roster space for Naquin, a left-handed hitter and outfielder. “He’s a guy that can play all three outfield positions, left-handed bat, good defender and thrower and run the bases,” Showalter said. “He can bring some things that all clubs need, just another piece that we can maneuver and present a tough lineup.”
“I think because of the versatility of Jeff and the versatility of Louie and Escobar, it allows us to move the pieces around and keep everybody intact physically and try to put our best foot forward every night,” Showalter said. “Not just pure matchups, but when somebody might need a day we won’t have a drop off in performance. Just another way to attack the rest of the season.”
