WASHINGTON -- Now that center fielder Lastings Milledge is in Triple-A Syracuse, Josh Willingham will split time with Austin Kearns in the outfield. When Willingham starts in a game, he will play left field, while Adam Dunn will switch to right.
According to manager Manny Acta, it was Dunn who agreed to the switch.
"Yesterday, I was thrilled," Acta said. "I spoke to Adam and he continues to make me happy about doing whatever it takes to help us win. He doesn't mind moving to right field like he did during the World Baseball Classic and for Arizona and Cincinnati. It would be easier to do that than ask Josh to play right field for the first time in the big league level."
Willingham to see more action....
