Washington Nationals reportedly sign Tony Campana to minor league deal

According to a report this afternoon by CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman, the Washington Nationals have signed 29-year-old infielder Tony Campana to a minor league deal.

Campana, a one-time Chicago Cub, Arizona Diamondback and LA Angel, signed with the Chicago White Sox last November, but suffered a torn ACL during a workout this winter and was released back in March.

According to Heyman's tweeted reports, he's recovered from surgery well:

Campana's new nats deal goes thru 2016. Interesting late-season pickup.

Campana could provide extra late season and October speed. Nats took a page out of royals playbook here.

Through four major league seasons, the left-handed hitting and throwing pinch hitter/outfielder has put up a combined .249/.296/.288 line with 66 stolen bases in 257 games and 477 PAs.

Campana split the 2014 campaign with the D-Backs and Angels, posting a .187/.197/.227 line in 44 games and 76 PAs.
