Latest news and updates about the Nationals
The Nationals announced that right-hander Matt Waldron was claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays. Connelly Early was moved from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL in the corresponding roster move. It’s the second time in under a month that Waldron has changed teams via the waiver wire. The Padres designated the knuckleballer […]
With injuries and trades, this Nats offense is a shell of its former self. We saw that in the Rangers series where they were shut out twice. However, baseball waits for nobody and the Nats need to keep chugging along. They will look to improve their woeful divisional record against the Marlins. With the injuries, […]
The Nationals wrapped up a frustrating series in Texas with a 2-0 loss Thursday night, managing just one hit against Jacob deGrom and three Rangers relievers. DeGrom struck out 10 over six innings and recorded his 2,000th career strikeout, while Brady House collected the Nats’ only hit. Andrew Alvarez allowed one run over five innings, […]
Seaver King is not knocking on the door of the big leagues, he is banging down the door. King is on the type of heater that should be impossible for Paul Toboni to ignore. At this point, there are no baseball related reasons for Seaver King to be in Rochester. In King’s last 11 games, […]
Heading into the season, Daylen Lile was one of the players I was most excited to see. He was coming off a stellar rookie season that was capped off by winning NL Player of the Month in September. However, he has been unable to recapture that magic for most of this season and last night’s […]
ARLINGTON, Texas — Jacob deGrom reached 2,000 career strikeouts on Thursday night, and the Texas Rangers beat the Washington Nationals 2-0 to move back into a tie for the final American League wild card spot.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Jacob deGrom walked 1 batter and struck out 10 on Thursday night in a 2-0 Texas Rangers win over the Washington Nationals. deGrom went 6 innings on 94 pitches and gave up 1 hit and 0 runs. The 10 strikeouts matched his season high, and the 2,000th of his career came on […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers beat the Nationals last night behind a dominant performance from Jacob deGrom. Skip Schumaker says it was “vintage deGrom” in Shawn McFarland’s game story. The win also featured deGrom’s 2,000th strikeout. Jeff Wilson writes that the milestone wasn’t the most important part of the night for the Rangers’ ace. Elsewhere […]
Rangers 2, Nationals 0
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Washington Nationals did not score any runs. The Rangers didn’t have a hit with RISP all evening despite ten chances and they also left eight on base, signifying ample opportunities that did not bear fruit. Were it any other night, we would perhaps be bemoaning these facts. […]
The Texas Rangers are locked in a tight battle for the AL West lead, as they entered play on Thursday against the Washington Nationals with a 62-65 record — sitting just two games below the division leader Houston Astros.

The Rangers right-hander made history in the first inning against the Nationals
Last night the Nats got carried by their ace Cade Cavalli. They also got enough offense thanks to a monster night from Andres Chaparro. The Nats will look to claim a series win with their second best starter on the mound. After some recent road struggles, a series win would be a nice way to […]

Good morning, folks… I’m apparently doing the links again this morning… The Texas Rangers fell to the Washington Nationals yesterday by a score of 6-0. Evan Grant’s game story highlights the difference in the Rangers’ record when they score first. Jeff Wilson writes that if the Rangers want to make the playoffs, they’ll need to […]
Last night Cade Cavalli twirled yet another gem. As the season has gone on, Cavalli is reaching another level. That is so encouraging to see given the fact we have had plenty of pitchers regress as the season goes along in the past. With how Cavalli has been pitching lately, he has put himself into […]
The Nationals are moving their shortstop of the last five years to second base. That we care is good news for everybody.
Nationals 6, Rangers 0
The Texas Rangers didn’t score a run but the Washington Nationals scored six runs. Everything that was fun and nice and enjoyable about last night’s game was immediately extinguished by tonight’s game. It was a complete reversal of an experience down to a nearly fully flipped final score. The Rangers are hope vampires hunched over […]
CJ Abrams is "not thrilled" with the Washington Nationals' decision to move him from shortstop to second base. Could that rekindle trade rumors this offseason?

Texas plays the middle game of a three game set against Washington tonight. Skip Schumaker is going with his super-lefty-heavy batting order. The lineup: Pederson — 1B Seager — SS […]
The Nationals announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Erik Tolman. Right-hander Yovanny Cruz has been optioned to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding active roster move. The 40-man had a vacancy but is now full. Tolman, 27, took a winding road to this moment. Earlier this year, he spoke to David Laurila of […]
It has been a brutal month of August for the Washington Nationals on multiple fronts. They lost key players to trades, James Wood got hurt and the losses have been piling up. However, Dylan Crews’ miserable play of late is another factor in the Nats struggles. When the team needed him most, Crews has been […]
