Nationals' Darren Baker: Receives call-up
The Nationals selected Baker's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.
The son of longtime manager and former MLB outfielder Dusty Baker, Darren will get his first taste of the big leagues at age 25. The left-handed Baker lacks power (no home runs in 483 plate appearances at Triple-A), but he makes good contact (18.8 percent strikeout rate, .285 average) and brings speed to the table (38 steals in 43 attempts). He'll serve in a utility role for the Nationals in September and saw action at second base, left field and center field for the Triple-A club this season.

Nationals' Darren Baker: Promotion forthcoming
The Nationals will select Baker's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
MLB rosters will expand from 26 to 28 players Sunday, so the Nationals will take the opportunity to add depth to their bench by promoting Baker. The 25-year-old has spent the entire season at Triple-A slashing .285/.348/.340 with 49 RBI across 483 plate appearances. While he may not offer much in terms of production at the plate, his ability to play both second base and left field will give the Nats additional defensive flexibility for the final month of the season.
