EDGE Analysis

Latos inked a minor league deal with the Nats in late-June and has spent the last two months at Triple-A, where he holds an impressive 1.29 ERA across 28 innings. The expectation is that he'll join the big league club within the next few days, though what his role will be down the stretch remains to be seen.
