Latest news and updates about the Nationals
Not all ballplayers need to be well-rounded in order to find success. Sometimes, one skill is enough to keep them in demand. That’s the case for Amed Rosario, who’s played for six teams over the last three seasons alone for one simple season: the man hits lefties. 2025 Stats (with Nationals and Yankees): 191 PA, .276/.309/.436, […]
Yordan Alvarez makes his 2026 Grapefruit League debut today for the Astros. Houston Astros (1-6-2) host the Washington Nationals (5-3-2) today in Grapefruit League action. RHP Hunter Brown will make his second start of the Spring today. He hurled 2.0 scoreless innings in his first start on Feb. 25 at MIA. Brown, who will be the […]
Trea Turner has two hits in eleven spring at bats. Adolis Garcia, who the team is counting on to have a bounceback season, has three hits in fourteen at bats. Otto Kemp, the guy they’re counting on to be part of an outfield platoon? Two for thirteen. It’s still rather early in spring training. We’re […]
Now that the calendar has turned to March, we are heading into the meat of the Spring Training schedule. However, I wanted to shout out three players who have really impressed me so far this spring. The three players I have been most impressed with have been Brady House, Riley Cornelio and Nasim Nunez. All […]
The Mets fell behind early in today’s game against the Nationals at Clover Park, and despite late attempts to comeback, they ultimately fell to the Nationals 3-2. The Mets will be at home once again tomorrow afternoon. They face off against the Astros at 1:10 PM on SNY, with Clay Holmes taking the mound.
After a tie with the Astros last night, the Nats are back in action this afternoon against the Mets. They are headed to Fort St. Lucie to face a stacked Mets lineup. It will be a good test for this young Nats team who has shown some sloppiness in the last couple games this spring. […]

Jose Altuve and Lance McCullers Jr. will each make their Grapefruit League debuts today. The Houston Astros (1-4-1) take on the Washington Nationals (4-2-1) in Grapefruit League action. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. is set to make his 2026 Grapefruit League debut. He made his return to the mound in 2025 after missing the entire 2023-24 […]
The Mets decimated the Cardinals in a victory on the road in Jupiter this afternoon, and Freddy Peralta started his Mets tenure about as good as one would have hoped. The Mets will be back in action tomorrow afternoon at 1:10 PM EST, taking on the Washington Nationals back at Clover Park. Tobias Myers will […]
One thing I have noticed this spring is that James Wood has been playing a lot of right field. Two of his three games this spring have been in right field. This is notable because Wood exclusively played left field last season. It is telling that the Nats new regime at least wants to get […]
The NL East could have several strong teams this year. The Phillies appear to be in win-now mode. The Mets have made major changes. The Braves should recover from a down year in 2025. Even the Marlins could make some noise. The Nationals? Well, they are here. Atlanta Braves Key departures: Jarred Kelenic, Marcell Ozuna, […]
Spring Training is the time of the year where players knock off the frost from the offseason and prepare for the 162 games marathon that is the regular season. For hitters, it means getting used to seeing big league velocity and breaking balls, as well as getting live fielding reps, and for pitchers it means […]
Here are the lineups for today’s game. Phillies: Nationals: Garrett Stubbs hits a homer today.
It had been a positive start to the spring for the Washington Nationals, but they got a reality check last night. They suffered their first defeat of the spring, losing 7-0 to the Yankees in a sloppy contest. The Nats were credited with three errors, but that is being generous. It really could have been […]
The Yankees didn’t do much in the way of new addition over this past offseason. The most notable move they made was the signing of Cody Bellinger, but he of course already spent last season in the Bronx. In terms of new pieces, the most notable was the trade for pitcher Ryan Weathers. The son […]
As we continue on with spring training, it’s time for a little night baseball. Tonight, the Yankees will welcome the Nationals into Steinbrenner Field, which will feature our first look at one of the newest members of the Bronx Bombers. Tonight, Ryan Weathers will take the mound for his first appearance as a Yankees. The […]
The Nationals have had a red hot start to Spring Training. They have won four games and tied once so far in the Grapefruit League. The Nats will look to keep that up as they travel to Tampa to take on the Yankees. This is a long trip for Spring Training but multiple regulars will […]
It wasn’t supposed to go like this. When the Nationals looked to jumpstart their rebuild by trading Juan Soto to the Padres at the 2022 Trade Deadline, I imagine they expected to be reaping the competitive rewards by this point. It’s not often that you can acquire four foundational pieces of a future window of […]
We are less than a week into Spring Training, but that does not mean we cannot make some observations. There have been a few trends I have noticed through the first five games of Spring Training. With the Nats sitting at the top of the Grapefruit League, things have mostly been good, but it has […]
It’s game 4 of the St. Louis Cardinals Spring Training schedule as they take on the Washington Nationals with a start time of 5:05pm central. According to MLB.com, Andre Pallante will get the start for the Cardinals while the Nationals will send Cade Cavalli to the mound.
We have stressed all offseason that the battle for spots in the Nationals bullpen is wide open. That means we could have some surprise contenders pitch their way on to the roster. One player who made a strong first impression is Bryce Montes De Oca, who struck out the side in his first outing of […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Nationals: Let’s talk about it.
2026 is a massive year for Brady House’s development. He is entering the season as the undisputed starter at third base. For that to be the case again next year, he is going to have to make big improvements with the bat. His first game of Spring Training was a major statement, with the 22 […]
One of the biggest competitions we will see this spring is behind the plate. Top prospect and new Nat Harry Ford will be battling it out against Keibert Ruiz at camp. We will see who comes out on top, but for my sanity, I really hope it is Harry Ford. It would be the best […]
The Astros opened their spring training schedule with a 2-1 loss to the Nationals on Saturday afternoon in West Palm Beach. While no veterans were in action, Joe Espada’s lineup was littered with guys fighting to make the Opening Day roster, making the first half of the game somewhat interesting. Here are some notes and […]
