Byron Kerr updates Matt Chico's rehab: "Nationals left hander Matt Chico enjoyed a rehab assignment with the Harrisburg Senators Saturday, he started and went 3 innings, allowing 1 run but no earned runs and 2 hits, walking 2 and striking out 1. So 4 games in the minors in the books and in 14 innings he has allowed 3 earned runs, 2 homers and 9 strikeouts, with 2 walks for a crispy 1.93 era." [masnsports.com]
Mark Zuckerman writes more on Shairon Martis' demotion: "Martis, who made the club out of spring training and opened the season 5-0, did not take the news as well. He was consoled by teammates after learning his fate and declined to talk to reporters before departing.
The move, while unexpected, confirmed the organization's growing fears about Martis' development. The 22-year-old right-hander hadn't won in his past eight starts and posted a 6.34 ERA in that span. Rizzo said he had been contemplating the move "for a while," but Martis' ragged, five-inning start Saturday made the decision easier." [Washington Times]
Chico Harlan examines John Lannan's recent streak of starts: "Lannan has made five starts in June. In each of those, he's gone at least six innings. In three of those, he's pitched into the eighth. His June ERA: 2.19." [Washington Post]
ESPN.com ranks the Nats No. 30 in their power rankings: "John Lannan went 3-0 with a 2.19 ERA and 13 K's in 37.0 IP in June." [ESPN.com]
Aram Tolegian ranks the Nats No. 30 in his power rankings: "After John Lannan, every member of the rotation has an ERA above 4." [Fox Sports]
Ryan Fagan puts the Nats No. 30 in his power poll: "They've only been swept once this month. Yeah, I'm stretching." [Sporting News]
