Coach Marco Sturm said he’s willing to try young players, Pastrnak dodged captaincy chatter and stayed focused on team prep, Poitras returned and will have to beat out others for an NHL job, and Michael DiPietro flashed athletic goaltending as Boston charts its lineup in advance of the season opener.

Salas, Jenkins, Montes lead a compact yet telling September call-up wave

Nats Promote Yohandy Morales After Breakout AAA Power Surge

The Washington Nationals promoted power-hitting prospect Yohandy Morales to the majors after a standout AAA campaign (104 games, .286/.882 with 25 homers). Morales projects as a right-handed masher who makes hard contact and uses the whole field, but may face growing pains against high-velocity pitching and has a murky defensive fit (1B/3B) that could limit playing time as he adjusts to the big leagues.
