Scherzer Out With Back Spasms, Placed On IL
Max Scherzer is scratched from today’s game with back spasms, which turns tonight’s game into a bullpen day. We were hoping we were finished with those. Whoops, a change, Max has been put on the IL, so he’s gone for 15 days at least. Chad Dallas is back on the roster and apparently will be […]
MLB Insider: Trade deadline buzz on Matt Chapman, Giants, Nationals and more

Rizzo spent 17 seasons running the…
Royals vs. Nationals June 17 game discussion
The Royals are back at it trying to salvage a win from a series. Luinder Avila, who blew up last time out, will be starting against the best offense in baseball. What a weird thing to say about a Nationals franchise that has struggled along most recent years. At least KC gets to face a […]
Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Game Thread
The Nats have been a series winning machine lately, but sweeps have been hard to come by. They will look to change that against the struggling Royals. With a win today, the Nats would move to a wild 5 games over .500. Finishing off the sweep would be a big step for this group. Blake […]
Nationals Release Julian Fernández
The Nationals announced Wednesday that they’ve requested unconditional release waivers on righty Julian Fernández, whom they’d designated for assignment last week. A release was always the likely outcome, given that Fernández was placed on the minor league injured list last month and remained there at the time of his DFA. Injured players cannot be passed […]
The Washington Nationals Schedule Is About To Start Playing To Their Favor
Through the first 2 months of the 2026 MLB season, the Nationals played as tough a schedule as anyone in baseball. They played 4 National League teams that made the playoffs in 2025 in their first 5 series, and then proceeded to play 17 straight games without a day off, stretching from April 10th to […]
Kansas City Royals news: Another series, another possible sweep
The Kansas City Royals lost their 15th series this season, in a 6-4 loss against the Washington Nationals.

Prior to Tuesday’s game against […]

Washington Nationals win yet another series thanks to heroics from Nasim Nunez and Curtis Mead
These Nats are just a series winning machine. They have now won 11 of the last 12 series and improved to 39-35 on the season. The Nationals now have sole possession of a Wild Card spot, which is pretty crazy if you ask me. I say it all the time, but man has this season […]
Randy Arozarena to IL with strained hamstring
The injury hits just keep coming for the Mariners. Randy Arozarena departed Friday’s game against the Nationals with a tweaked hamstring, sitting out the rest of the series. The hope was that with those days down, plus the off-day yesterday, the issue would resolve itself. But that wasn’t the case, as Arozarena’s hamstring was still […]
Royals vs. Nationals June 16 game discussion
The Royals are at the point in the season where it’s only the sickos who are watching on random Tuesday weeknights, especially when there’s also a World Cup game in Kansas City the same evening. If any bandwagon fans are left, I question your judgement—unless you’re really, really bored. In any case, we welcome you, […]
Phillies Release Jackson Rutledge
The Phillies have released right-hander Jackson Rutledge, per a team announcement. He was designated for assignment last week as a corresponding move when the Phils acquired outfielder Derek Hill from the White Sox. Rutledge, 27, was a waiver claim out of the Nationals organization last month. Washington selected him in the first round of the […]
Luis Garcia Jr. is an underrated part of the Washington Nationals elite offense
We have talked a lot about the Nats offense this season, and for good reason. Between the star duo of James Wood and CJ Abrams, as well as supporting pieces like Curtis Mead, Jacob Young and Daylen Lile, the boys have gotten a lot of love here. However, one player I have not talked much […]
Don’t let big market fans steal James Wood’s spot as an All-Star starter
Nationals fans, we need to get together here and make James Wood an All-Star starter. Yesterday it came out that Wood is not among the top 6 NL outfielders in All-Star voting. This is an absolute disgrace because he has been the best outfielder in all of baseball this year. Even the national media understands […]
Dylan Crews homer helps the Nationals get 3 games over .500 for the first time since 2019
For the first time since the end of the 2019 season, the Nationals are 3 games over .500. The magical ride continued tonight, as the boys disposed of the Royals in a mostly drama free 7-3 win. Andrew Alvarez, Brad Lord, Clayton Beeter and Gus Varland pitched well, while the bats did their usual thing. […]
A win just out of reach as Royals lose to Nationals
Mitch Spence was recalled from AAA for a start tonight, and it did not go very well as the Royals lost 7-3 to the Nationals. The game was full of grounders on both sides (yes there were a few liners too) that were just on the cusp of finding a glove. A few of them […]
Royals superstar Bobby Witt Jr. debuts new Under Armour cleats in Nationals game
The Kansas City Royals brought more than baseball to Nationals Park on Monday night. Fans received their first in-game look at star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.’s new Under Armour cleats, with the Dream Pull design making its official debut during the club’s matchup vs. the Washington Nationals.

Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Game Thread
The Nats were able to put the San Francisco meltdown behind them, and now have another chance to go 3 games over .500 for the first time since 2019. A 29-43 Royals team will stand in their way. This season has been a major disappointment for the Royals, who had so many stars at the […]
Royals vs Nationals, Game 73 Gamethread
As Argentina and Algeria prepare to take over the sports complex on Tuesday, the 29-43 Royals find themselves on the road for a single series against the surprising 37-35 Washington Nationals, who are in third place in the NL East. James Wood and CJ Abrams provide the thump in the lineup, and they both remain […]
Nationals All-Star Named Possible Trade Candidate with Deadline Approaching
The Washington Nationals have been a surprising team this year. After missing the postseason and finishing under .500 for six consecutive years, the Nationals find themselves just one game back in the National League wild card race at 37-35.The team may be near the end of its rebuild and potentially ready to contend again for […] The post Nationals All-Star Named Possible Trade Candidate with Deadline Approaching appeared first on HEAVY .
Nationals series preview: Happy 250th birthday, America!
The Nationals won their first championship in 2019, and after stumbling to a losing record in 2020, they began rebuilding. They traded Trea Turner and Max Scherzer in 2021, and Juan Soto in 2022. That brought several years of bad baseball, as the team struggled to develop good players. But the prospects from those trades […]
Washington Nationals go for 4th straight series win against Royals
After getting swept to open the month, it’s been smooth sailing for the Nationals as we hit the halfway mark in June. They won their last 2 games against the Seattle Mariners for a come-from-behind series victory, making that their 3rd in a row. With the gritty Tampa Bay Rays and division rival Philadelphia Phillies […]
