According to a report on Twitter tonight by MLB.com's Bill Ladson (@washingnats) the Washington Nationals signed 29-year-old infielder Will Rhymes to a minor league contract. The Detroit Tigers' '07 25th Round pick played for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2012, putting up a .228/.299/.285 line in 47 games and 137 PAs over which he was worth -0.1 fWAR in his third major league season.

Whether Rhymes is being brought in to compete for/ fill that role (as a backup infielder) or serve as minor league depth is unclear.
