Put this name in your scorebook: Jake Noll.

In the unlikeliest story of Nationals spring training, Noll will be on the 25-man roster Thursday when the season opens at Nationals Park against the New York Mets.

Noll found a way with his bat -- and a little help from injuries -- to unexpectedly survive multiple rounds of cuts through spring training. His first visit to the Nationals’ clubhouse in Washington came Monday, when the team was in town for its final exhibition game.

“It’s crazy, man,” Noll told NBC Sports Washington on Monday. “Definitely cool. I can’t really put it into words. It’s awesome.”

Noll will be part of a five-man bench which includes Kurt Suzuki, Andrew Stevenson, Wilmer Difo and Matt Adams. Jeremy Hellickson starts the year in the bullpen as the long man.

Koda Glover (right forearm strain), infielder Howie Kendrick (left hamstring strain) and outfielder Michael A. Taylor (left knee/hip sprain) start the season on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to March 25, as expected. They should be back when the Nationals go on the road next week.
