Worth noting

By Tom Schad and Andrew Simon

• The Nationals on Friday agreed to terms with three more selections from the First-Year Player Draft, including fourth-rounder Nicholas Pivetta out of New Mexico Junior College. Fellow right-handers John Simms, an 11th-rounder from Rice, and Andrew Cooper, a 12th-rounder from Sierra (Calif.) Junior College, also signed.

Washington now has struck deals with 13 of its top 14 picks, missing only 13th rounder John Costa, a righty from Palm Beach (Fla.) Community College.

Pivetta, one of three righties the Nationals took among their top four picks, is a 6-foot-5, 215-pounder whose fastball has reached the upper 90s when appearing as a reliever.

• Manager Davey Johnson said that Roger Bernadina (eye) and Chad Tracy (back spasms) are both healthy after receiving treatments on Thursday.
