The young backstop reached on a single in the first inning and promptly stole second base, an event New York catcher Tomas Nido likely didn't see coming considering Ruiz hadn't stolen a base at any level since he was a 16-year-old in the Dominican Summer League.

Ruiz will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz was on the bench for the Nationals' last two games, but his absence from the lineup in Tuesday's 4-2 loss was likely just a byproduct of Washington's pitching schedule. Manager Dave Martinez wanted to keep Riley Adams in a battery with Patrick Corbin, who followed up an eight-inning effort May 4 in Colorado by blanking the Mets over five innings. Adams and Corbin should continue to work in a tandem moving forward, but Ruiz still profiles as the Nationals' clear No. 1 catcher and should pick up the lion's share of the work behind the dish.
