Harrisburg Senators News Release
Over the past two days, the Harrisburg Senators have been busy with player moves. OF Ricardo Nanita has been activated from the disabled list and RHP Drew Storen has been promoted from Potomac to Harrisburg. Both players were on the bus this morning. To make room for these two players, RHP Clint Everts was promoted to AAA Syracuse and INF Greg Veloz was sent to Potomac.
Nanita had played 18 games with the Sens before going on the disabled list on June 25th. He is batting .296 with 2 hr and 8 rbi this season. Veloz was acquired by the Nationals from the NY Mets last week in exchange for Anderson Hernandez. Veloz played in four games over the weekend at Trenton going 0 x 10. He had never played about "A" ball before.
Everts is a former number one draft choice of the Montreal Expos. In 20 appearances with the Senators this year, his first time at AA, he was 3-1 with 4 saves and a 1.53 era in 29.1 innings. He is now going to AAA for the first time.
Storen was the Nats second pick (10th overall) in the 2009 draft. He started his professional career with Hagerstown, appearing in 11 games and going 0-1 with a 3.68era. He struck out 26 and walked none in 14.2 innings. With Potomac, he appeared in 7 games going 1-0 with 2 saves in 10 innings of work. He struck out 11 and walked 2.
With these moves the Senators roster stands at 24 active with no one on the DL.
The Senators return home on Friday night to take on the Trenton Thunder. Tickets for Friday's game, or any remaining game this season, are available online at senatorsbaseball.com or by calling 231-4444. Tickets are also available at the new Little Red Box Office built by Home in Hand located across from the stables on the Walnut Street Bridge landing.
