The Washington Nationals called up Trevor Williams today to face the Cubs, a team he played for in 2021. Williams had spent over three months on the IL and makes it back with a chance to pitch today and next week. Williams two-year contract is up after this season, and he can head back to free agency. What this does for the Nats is that they can go with a 6-man rotation and push back each pitcher with an extra rest day.

The Washington Nationals are happy to leave Flushing, New York, and hope that the Windy City blows some hits the Nats way. These are the final 10-games of the season with 4 in Wrigley, and then back home for the final 6 games split between the Royals and Phillies.

When the final out was recorded in the Fredericksburg Nationals, Single-A Championship game for the Carolina League, you have to be ecstatic about the young players being developed in the Nats minor league system.

The Washington Nationals got pummeled last night, and all you can do is turn the page. After tonight, there are just 10-games remaining for the Washington Nationals. This is the series finale for the Washington Nationals with the Mets, and this is a salvage game for the Nats.

The Washington Nationals got a gem from Jake Irvin and wasted it. In a long season, games like last night happens. It felt like a playoff game. The Nats were winning 1-0 until they lost 2-1 in extra innings. Their 1-for-10 in RISP situations was just part of the problem. Today’s a new day to get a Curly W.

Yes, you can win games by a score of 1-0. The Nationals went into the bottom of the 8th inning last night with a 1-0 lead. Six outs from a victory if they could have prevented a run from scoring. Instead of having Sunday’s closer, Jose A. Ferrer, ready for the 8th inning, manager Dave Martinez brought his starter out for 8th inning with Derek Law warming up. Of course the first batter hit a line drive double down the line to change the direction of the game. After the game was tied, Ferrer pitched the 9th inning with the team’s main closer, Kyle Finnegan, watching from the bullpen in case his team could take the lead.

The Washington Nationals arrived in New York City for a 3-game series against the Mets with the third and final Wild Card spot up for grabs between the Mets and Braves. Those two teams enter play today tied with 81-68 records. Unless the Padres or Diamondbacks fall apart — it looks like the Mets or Braves will take the final spot in the NL Wild Card. For all intents and purposes, the Nats are in the spoiler’s role. Basically, a Nats win helps the Braves, and a Nats loss helps the Mets and hurts the Braves.

The Washington Nationals have had two №1 prospects named as the best in baseball this summer with outfielder James Wood and outfielder Dylan Crews. When Wood graduated to rookie status after he made his 130th at-bat in early August, Crews moved up weeks later into the top spot. With both players called up recently, they have formed a dynamic outfield with rookie Jacob Young. The core of this team has grown beyond the original group of CJ Abrams, Luis Garcia Jr., and Keibert Ruiz. .

The Washington Nationals got a good start from Patrick Corbin to get the win yesterday in a 4-1 victory. The Nats have now taken 2-of-3 in this four game series with the hopes of securing this series win today against the Marlins.

The Washington Nationals got another ace performance from DJ Herz as he has stepped up as the team’s No. 1 starter this season. He was never even in the plans until Trevor Williams went down with an injury in the first week of June. With 17-starts in the books, Herz lowered his ERA to an impressive 3.70. Can he improve further? Herz will get back into the pitching lab this offseason to try to emerge next season as the team’s ace.
Today, it is Patrick Corbin‘s third start from the end of his checkered Nats’ career that will finish hopefully on an up-note. His World Series contributions in the 2019 season started his 6-year deal on a high note — but it is hard to sugarcoat his 5.10 ERA in his Nats’ tenure.
