Herrera reinstated, Milone to DL (Nats win 10-4)
The Nationals have reinstated right-handed reliever Kelvin Herrera and placed left-hander Tommy Milone on the 10-day disabled list with left shoulder soreness. Herrera was out since Aug. 8 with right rotator cuff impingement. He had allowed at least one run in three of his five appearances with the Nats before going on the disabled list. He was off to a great start with the Royals before the trade, posting a 1-1 record with 14 saves and a 1.05 ERA. But with the Nats, he is 1-2 with a 4.76 ERA...

Martinez focused on team and not scoreboard; Fedde solid in rehab start

Martinez focused on team and not scoreboard; Fedde solid in rehab start
The Marlins series did not turn out well for the Nationals with two losses in a row. Over the weekend, the Atlanta Braves were being swept by the Rockies and the Philadelphia Phillies have now lost seven of their last 11 games. So the Nats lost a good opportunity to make up some ground in the division. The Braves beat the Pirates last night 1-0 to extend their lead to 7 1/2 games with 37 games remaining. Prior to Saturday's game, manager Davey Martinez was asked about scoreboard watching....

Harper on his struggles defensively in 12-1 loss to Marlins

Harper on his struggles defensively in 12-1 loss to Marlins
The Nationals lost 12-1 to the Marlins Sunday afternoon. It was a struggle for left-hander Gio Gonzalez as he gave up eight runs. But his offense could not get going against the Marlins José Ureña and the defense behind Gonzalez struggled after the first inning. Adam Eaton made a nice play on a fly ball that Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson hit down the right field foul line. But Bryce Harper, who went 0-for-3 at the plate, had some trouble in the outfield on a couple of different...

Bullpen update: Martinez "hopeful" to have Herrera back versus Phillies

Bullpen update: Martinez "hopeful" to have Herrera back versus Phillies
Along with having Stephen Strasburg return for the Nationals' critical series this week against the Phillies, manager Davey Martinez believes there is a very good chance his bullpen will get an important arm back in closer Kelvin Herrera. Herrera, who arrived from the Kansas City Royals in a trade in mid-June, struggled to begin the second half of the season, going just 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA and three saves since the All-Star Break. In the first half of the season, most of that time with the...

Game 125 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins

Game 125 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
The Nationals need to win every series from here on out, and when they face last-place teams, they pretty much have to sweep those series too. With the Braves and Phillies losing Saturday, the Nats lost a golden opportunity to move up in posting their 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Marlins. They still stand a full seven games out of first place in the National League East with only 38 games remaining. Daniel Murphy generated a big base hit in an 11-pitch at-bat to begin a two-run rally in the...

Glover looking for more consistency in current up and down start

Glover looking for more consistency in current up and down start
It has been a bit of the good with the bad for reliever Koda Glover as he looks to find consistency in his first few games back with the Nationals after a long road back from injury. The flame throwing right-hander got two outs on four pitches in Chicago on Aug. 10. He followed that up with one solid inning Aug. 12 against the Cubs, allowing a hit but no runs. Then on Aug. 13, the Cardinals walked him off with a solo shot by Paul DeJong. On Aug. 16, Glover recorded the save in the Nats' 5-4...

Milone provides length to bullpen rotation, Rodriguez gets shot at No. 5 role
Nationals manager Davey Martinez explained the reasoning behind tonight's adjustment in the starting rotation as the club called up right-hander Jefry Rodriguez and gave him the start against the Miami Marlins. Martinez said club officials have liked what they have seen the last two starts from Rodriguez, one with the Nats on Aug. 7 and an 11-strikeout performance for Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 12. Left-hander Tommy Milone, tonight's original starter, now moves to the bullpen and helps the...

Taylor gourmet: center fielder stellar at offense and defense
Michael A. Taylor played the part of "super sub" Thursday, contributing on offense and defense to a help the Nationals earn a split of their four-game set with the Braves, 6-3. Taylor smacked a solo shot and made a spectacular diving catch of a dying bloop shot off the bat of Kurt Suzuki as the Nats earned their 59th win of the season. At the start of the game, both Taylor and Adam Eaton provided key outfield assists to prevent the Braves from scoring runs. Manager Davey Martinez sighted the...

Gonzalez gains momentum in seven innings, Nats win 6-3

Gonzalez gains momentum in seven innings, Nats win 6-3
In a game they had to win, left-hander Gio Gonzalez dug down deep to deliver a convincing seven-inning gem as the Nationals split their series with the second-place Braves, 6-3. The win for the southpaw snapped a personal seven-game losing streak dating back to May 28 at Baltimore. Gonzalez allowed only a second inning Nick Markakis solo shot and walked one over those seven frames, striking out three, and scattering five other hits. The Nats enjoyed RBIs from six different players in their...

Sánchez leaves prematurely with calf injury (Nats win 6-3)
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez allowed a solo homer to Nick Markakis that led off the top of the second inning. The Braves have managed at least one base hit each inning, but to Gonzalez's credit, he wiggled out of those threats to allow just one run through three frames. Braves right-hander Aníbal Sánchez pitched two innings, allowing only one base hit from Trea Turner, a single in the first. But he was replaced by Wes Parsons to begin the third. The right-hander made his major league debut...

In the early morning lineup submitted for Thursday's afternoon finale between the Nationals and the Atlanta Braves, Bryce Harper was slated to bat cleanup. But less than a half an hour after that lineup was posted, a new lineup was set with Harper scratched and Michael A. Taylor inserted to play center field and bat seventh.

Game 115 lineups: Nats vs. Braves (Harper scratched)
Following a pair of losses to the second-place Atlanta Braves, the Nationals are again in must-win mode to try to get away to Chicago with a split of the four-game series. The Nats won the first game of the doubleheader Tuesday 8-3, and with a win in the nightcap and a potential Arizona win, the club could have been just four games out of first place in the National League East. But since that moment the Phillies went 1-2 and the Braves 2-0, so the deficit is back up to six games. The Nats need...
