    Nationals optioned infielder Melvin Dorta to Double-A Harrisburg.
    Damian Jackson will be activated to replace him on the roster. Dorta went 0-for-1 with a caught stealing in two games for the Nats.
  • WSH Third Base Coach
    Nationals purchased the contract of second baseman Melvin Dorta from Double-A Harrisburg.
    The Nationals needed someone who could serve as a backup middle infielder with Damian Jackson on the DL and Jose Vidro nursing a hamstring injury. Dorta, a 24-year-old who was hitting .277/.329/.381 at Double-A, just happened to be the choice.
  • WSH Third Base Coach
    Nationals recalled infielder Melvin Dorta from Triple-A New Orleans.
    Dorta, who was up briefly in July, hit .270/.316/.362 with six homers and 36 steals in 434 at-bats, most of them coming at Double-A Harrisburg. The Nationals will use him as a utilityman this month. It’s all he ever figures to be.
  • WSH Third Base Coach
    The Nationals plan to call up INF Melvin Dorta, OF George Lombard, RHP Chris Booker, RHP Brett Campbell and RHP Beltran Perez prior to Saturday’s game.
    No Marlon Byrd or Kory Casto. That would seem to indicate that Nook Logan could join the team right away. None of the sure callups figure to have any fantasy value at all.
  • WSH Third Base Coach
    Nationals sent infielder Melvin Dorta outright to Triple-A Columbus.
    Dorta had never played above Double-A before the Nationals called him up to fill a utility role in July. He was also up in September, and he finished 4-for-19. Although he can play a bunch of positions, it’s not very likely that he’ll have a long career as a utilityman.
