The Nationals list received reinforcements Monday after Josh Bell, Josh Harrison and Kyle Schwarber joined the team after being on the inactive list.
Each of the players was separated due to the COVID-19 protocols, leaving starter Jon Lester as the only member of the capital out of action after the inconveniences of COVID at the beginning of the campaign.
To make room for the three players, the national team sent Luis García to the Dominican field and Yadiel Hernández to the Cuban field to the alternative place. Both will be part of the rotating group during the tour.
In addition, catcher Jonathan Lucroy was assigned for the assignment, while right-back Ryne Harper and TJ McFarland returned to the alternate spot.
Lester, who has kept fit through home training, will likely work at the alternative headquarters of the national team in Fredericksburg, Virginia, before joining the club.
