I seriously doubt that Lucroy is a short-term patch. I don't think he's had any work with a team this year. My guess is that he'll go to the alt site, get in some at bats, catch some of the minor leaguers at the site, and then be a potential depth piece if there's roster craziness.
He was in camp with the White Sox and went 6-18 with 5 walks in limited action. He didn't get cut until 3/29, so he's probably as ready as anyone else the Nats have.
