Column | The Nats are committed to Keibert Ruiz, for better or (so far) worse
Briefly

Keibert Ruiz has been reinstated by the Washington Nationals after a head injury, despite being one of the worst catchers in baseball. Manager Dave Martinez and General Manager Mike Rizzo believe Ruiz is ready to perform. Ruiz has struggled significantly in the past season and a half, showing unproductive at-bats and defensive issues. In a recent game, he struck out twice and made an inaccurate throw during a critical defensive play. His return does not contribute positively to the team's overall struggles.
Manager Dave Martinez expressed confidence in Keibert Ruiz, stating, "We thought he was ready." General Manager Mike Rizzo echoed this sentiment following a crushing 11-2 loss.
Ruiz's past season has been almost entirely unproductive, marked by noncompetitive at-bats and defensive liabilities. Observers note that his performances are difficult to watch.
