The Nationals once desperately needed an emergency catcher. They don’t have one anymore.

Dave Martinez considers Wilmer DIfo, Adrián Sanchez and Jake Noll as options, but it's likely that none of them are on the Opening Day roster.

. He entered the league’s concussion protocol, meaning he was ineligible for the NLCS opener at Busch Stadium, and had to be cleared after a battery of tests.

So the Nationals were left with a choice: Replace Suzuki on the roster, and he would be out for the entire series. Or play with 24 players — and just one catcher — and pray that Yan Gomes could avoid injury.“We rolled the dice,” Martinez said. “We knew Kurt was probably a day or two from returning, and really didn’t want to burn him for the whole NLCS. I looked at the coaches and it was just like: ‘Well, here we go.

That began a scramble for an emergency catcher, as if there wasn’t enough going on. Reliever Daniel Hudson. The Nationals made a last-minute roster tweak to account for that, placing Hudson on the postseason paternity list and activating Wander Suero for one game. MLB rules required that a pitcher fill Hudson’s spot, so the Nationals could not use it for a third catcher to slide behind Gomes. That solution was raised and immediately shot down.
