UNDATED (AP) — Shawn Kelley’s outburst on the mound got him booted from the Nationals. The reliever has been designated for assignment, a day after he threw his glove to the ground and glared into the dugout while working the ninth inning of a 25-4 blowout of the Mets.
Manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo say Kelley’s actions were disrespectful and unprofessional.
Washington recalled right-hander Jimmy Cordero from Triple-A Syracuse to take Kelley’s place on the roster.
