"James Bourque is having an outstanding start in Potomac, somebody that is now two years removed from Tommy John," said Nationals director of player development Mark Scialabba. "Plus fastball, curveball combination and some funk and deception in his delivery. He is someone to follow this...

Nationals like what they see from Austin Voth

Nationals like what they see from Austin Voth
Right-hander Austin Voth only came up for a 24-hour period a couple of weeks ago. He did not get into that game on April 29, but expect to see Voth again in a Nationals uniform this season. The starter has built himself to a point in his young career to be an extremely valuable asset to the Nats. Nats director of player development Mark Scialabba said Voth's dedication to getting stronger in the offseason has positively affected his pitching repertoire and his ability to strive towards the end...

Juan Soto continued to pummel minor league pitching last week with a .522 average and five homers, earning the 19-year-old the Carolina League Player of the Week honors. Nationals director of player development Mark Scialabba said having a healthy Soto means everyone gets to see what the system's hottest prospect is capable of producing. Soto has recorded at least a base hit in 12 of the 14 games he has played for the P-Nats. In 30 minor league games this season, between low Single-A...

Nationals manager Davey Martinez held veteran first baseman Ryan Zimmerman out of the lineup again with a bruised side. "I talked to him today he said he felt better," Martinez said.

Turner on ninth-inning gaffe, Rendon makes it through return

Turner on ninth-inning gaffe, Rendon makes it through return
Trea Turner got caught off of first base in the ninth inning attempting to get to second base on a possible hit and run. It was a play Turner would certainly love to have back, but the biggest takeaway from the Nationals' 3-1 loss to the Phillies Saturday was the pitching of Vince Velasquez. Velasquez allowed only one hit, a solo homer by Wilmer Difo, in quieting the Nationals for five innings. The right-hander hit a batter, walked four and struck out four batters to improve to 2-4. Manager...

Game 34 lineups: Phillies at Nats (updated)
The Nationals welcome back third baseman Anthony Rendon to their lineup today. Rendon did well in two rehab appearances for high Single-A Potomac over the past two days, collecting five hits in eight at-bats. He has been out with a hairline fracture in his left big toe. The team has won a season-high six games in a row, so having Rendon back could help the offense get into overdrive.
