Nationals purchased the contract of RHP Jonathan Albaladejo from Triple-A Columbus. The Pirates pretty much gave up on Albaladejo after last season, but after joining the Nats, he had a 2.97 ERA in 60 2/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound right-hander is talented enough to become a big asset in middle relief.
