Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Chris Marrero is set to begin rehabbing a hamstring injury with Class A Auburn.

Marrero torn his left hamstring over the winter and made his way to Triple-A Syracuse in June, but he was shut down in July after feeling some discomfort. He'll likely return to the Triple-A level once he's back to full health.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Nationals activated 1B Chris Marrero from the 60-day disabled list, optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Marrero is finally recovered from a torn hamstring that cost him the first couple months of the season. He'll have a shot to be called up later this summer.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Chris Marrero (hamstring) will continue his rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg.

Marrero went 7-for-17 (.412) with two doubles, one homer and four RBI in six games between Low-A Harrisburg and High-A Potomac. The 23-year-old has been sidelined all season due to a torn left hamstring and more recently with a sore shoulder and a bruised thumb.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Thursday that Chris Marrero had a setback with his shoulder.

Marrero was already rehabbing a torn left hamstring, but the shoulder injury means he might not be ready to play again for another month or two. The 23-year-old batted .248/.274/.294 with five doubles and 10 RBI in 117 plate appearances for the Nationals down the stretch last season.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Nationals placed 1B Chris Marrero on the 60-day disabled list with a torn left hamstring.

The 23-year-old suffered a severely-torn left hamstring while playing in the Dominican Winter League this offseason. Marrero is doubtful to be ready before July.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Chris Marrero (hamstring) is aiming to play in extended spring training games by the end of April.

The 23-year-old prospect suffered a badly-torn left hamstring while playing in the Dominican Winter League this offseason and is not expected to be ready for live action until July. Marrero batted .248/.274/.294 with five doubles and 10 RBI in 117 plate appearances for the Nationals down the stretch last season.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Chris Marrero (hamstring) was able to field grounders Friday.

It's the first time he's been able to do so since tearing his left hamstring while playing in the Dominican Winter League over the offseason. While it's good to see him progressing, Marrero is still expected to be sidelined until after the All-Star break.

Nationals prospect Chris Marrero (hamstring) is expected to be out until after the All-Star break.

Marrero suffered a badly torn left hamstring while playing in the Dominican Winter League this offseason. He's been able to jog and hit off a batting tee in Nats camp, but the organization is not going to rush him.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

According to Bill Ladson of MLB.com, Chris Marrero will not be ready for the start of spring training after suffering a torn left hamstring while playing in the Dominican Winter League.

While Marrero doesn't expect to miss the entire season, he did require surgery because the hamstring was torn off the bone. The 23-year-old batted .248/.274/.294 with five doubles, 10 RBI and a .567 OPS over 117 plate appearances with the Nationals down the stretch. Adam LaRoche (shoulder) is expected to open 2012 as the starting first baseman, but Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reported Monday that the Nationals have "serious interest" in free agent slugger Prince Fielder.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Nationals recalled 1B-OF Chris Marrero from Triple-A Syracuse.

The Nats' former top prospect, Marrero has had a nice year for Syracuse, batting .300/.375/.449 with 14 homers and 69 RBI. His defense at first base has also gotten better, and that's where Marrero will be when he gets playing time, pushing Mike Morse to left field. It's possible he could get enough at-bats to warrant consideration in NL-only leagues.

Sat, Aug 27, 2011 01:36:00 PM

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Nationals purchased the contract of 1B/OF Chris Marrero from Double-A Harrisburg.

The former first-round pick batted .294/.350/.450 with 18 homers over 524 at-bats for Harrisburg in 2010. Although he doesn't draw many walks and strikes out a lot, Marrero has plus raw power and is likely the team's long-term solution at first base. The 22-year-old will likely begin the season at Triple-A and could be promoted to the big leagues at some point in 2011.

Fri, Nov 19, 2010 08:30:00 PM

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Nationals promoted prospect Chris Marrero to Double-A Harrisburg.

The former 2006 first-round pick didn't have much more to prove at Single-A Harrisburg, batting .287/.360/.464 with 16 homers and 65 RBI. The Nationals were likely motivated to promote the 21-year-old first baseman so that he could participate in the Arizona Fall League.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Nationals prospect Chris Marrero said he's fully recovered from the broken fibula that ended his season last June and he's lost some weight since last season.

Marrero put on some weight after moving from the outfield to first base. "I was heavy," Marrero says today. "I didn't get fat, I just got really really strong. I came into 2008 at, like, 235 or something with 11 percent body fat. But I lost a little bit of my agility." He says he's 225 now, and that's where he'd like to stay. Marrero, the best position prospect in the Washington system, will open 2009 at either Single-A Potomac or Double-A Harrisburg.

Chris Marrero - 1B - Nationals

Chris Marrero will need surgery to repair the broken fibula he suffered sliding into home on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season.

He'll also need to repair ligaments in his ankle. The 19-year-old had gotten off to a slow start, but was hitting .352 in the 14 games before he was hurt. He'll finish the season hitting .250 with 11 homers and 38 RBI in 70 games. GM Jim Bowden doesn't think it will be a setback to Marrero's long-term development, but it will obviously delay his debut with the Nats.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Kurt Suzuki
	2	Wilson Ramos D.L. Nationals placed C Wilson Ramos on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Ramos missed a couple weeks last month with the same injury. He doesn't think the strain is too bad, but it's possible the Nats will play it safe and hold him out longer this time around. May 16

1B	1	Adam LaRoche
	2	Tyler Moore
	3	Chad Tracy
2B	1	Danny Espinosa Sidelined Danny Espinosa has been playing with a small fracture in his right wrist for the past month. It's actually a loose bone chip in his hand. The injury stems from when he was hit by a pitch from Paul Maholm on April 14 and certainly explains his struggles. Espinosa hopes to avoid a trip to the disabled list and possible surgery, but the Nationals plan to rest him for a few days. Steve Lombardozzi will fill in at second base for the time being. May 24

SS	1	Ian Desmond

	2	Roger Bernadina
CF	1	Denard Span
RF	1	Jayson Werth D.L. Jayson Werth (hamstring) will not be ready for activation from the disabled list on Friday and could be sidelined for as much as two more weeks. Nationals manager Davey Johnson said he received an "alarming" report on Werth Monday, which obviously doesn't sound good. The outfielder experienced a setback with his hamstring during a rehab game last week and has yet to return to game action. He was slated to see a specialist over the weekend and evidently didn't receive good news. Roger Bernadina and Tyler Moore will continue to be the primary fill-ins for Werth. May 20
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Stephen Strasburg
	2	Gio Gonzalez
	3	Jordan Zimmermann
	4	Dan Haren
	5	Ross Detwiler Sidelined Ross Detwiler (back) played catch Thursday and will throw a bullpen session Saturday. Detwiler left his start on May 15 with lower back spasms, but managed to avoid a stint on the disabled list. Barring any setbacks, he will return to the rotation Tuesday against the Orioles. May 24
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Rafael Soriano
	2	Drew Storen
	3	Tyler Clippard
	4	Craig Stammen
	5	Ryan Mattheus D.L. Ryan Mattheus is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks with a fractured right hand. Mattheus won't require surgery, but since the injury is to his pitching hand he can't do a whole lot while out. He'll have to build his arm strength back up once out of his cast. May 24
	6	Henry Rodriguez
	7	Christian Garcia D.L. Christian Garcia (forearm) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend with Double-A Harrisburg. Garcia has been shut down since the early part of spring training with a partial tendon tear in his right forearm, but he's ready to return to game action. The Nationals were planning to stretch him out as a starter prior to the injury, but he'll pitch in relief for the time being. May 23
	8	Zach Duke
	9	Yunesky Maya
	10	Fernando Abad
