Willingham was batting .268 with 16 home runs and 56 RBI in 114 games with Washington before having season-ending surgery on his right knee Aug. 25. He added 67 walks for a .389 on-base percentage and was successful in all eight of his stolen base attempts. The 31-year old right-handed hitter was batting .281 with 15 home runs and 46 RBI in 87 games before the All-Star Break but was hampered by the injury in hitting just .225 with one home run and 10 RBI in 27 contests after the break. Willingham was originally drafted in the 17th round of the 2000 draft by Florida and spent five seasons with the Marlins from 2004-08 before he was traded to Washington following the 2008 season. He is a .265 career hitter with 103 home runs and 336 RBI in 663 games in seven seasons and has a .367 career on-base percentage. Willingham has hit at least 15 home runs in each of the last five seasons and has topped 20 home runs three times, including a career-high 26 in 2006 with Florida.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.
