MLB pitcher on rehab assignment in FXBG

A member of the Washington Nationals’ 2019 World Series championship team is rehabbing with the Fredericksburg Nationals this week, and he will pitch in Thursday’s home game.

Sean Doolittle is expected to see action in Thursday night’s game against the Delmarva Shorebirds, which starts at 7:05 p.m. at the Virginia Credit Union Stadium.

Doolittle has a passion for reading, and fans are asked to bring a new or used book to donate to Bookmobile Fredericksburg. Any fan who donates at the box office will receive $5 off a field seat for Thursday’s game.
