Game 17 lineups: Nats at Mets

Game 17 lineups: Nats at Mets
NEW YORK - It is the middle of April and the two-time defending N.L. East champion Washington Nationals find themselves six games behind the first place New York Mets. There are 146 regular season games remaining. The Nats have yet to play a regular season game with Daniel Murphy in the lineup. Adam Eaton has been sidelined with a bone bruise on his left ankle. Anthony Rendon has missed the last two games after fouling a ball off his left big toe. Hitters Ryan Zimmerman and Michael A. Taylor...

Close proximity of affiliates helps Nationals function more efficiently

Close proximity of affiliates helps Nationals function more efficiently
One element of the minor league system that has been an advantage for the Nationals is the close proximity of each affiliate to each other and to Washington, D.C., and most importantly, Nationals Park. Countless times, the Nats have utilized their high Single-A location in Woodbridge, Va., the Potomac Nationals, to rehab their major league players. Even low single-A Hagerstown is just over an hour away from D.C., and if the Suns are home instead of the P-Nats, players can get access to live...

Rendon leaves after sixth inning, X-Rays negative on left big toe

Rendon leaves after sixth inning, X-Rays negative on left big toe
Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon had to leave Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rockies after fouling a pitch off his left big toe. He was replaced by Wilmer Difo. Rendon tried to stay in the game but eventually came out after the sixth inning. "It just hit the toe, it didn't hit the foot or the ankle or the shin guard. It hit the toe," Rendon said of the play. Manager Davey Martinez reported that X-Rays came back negative. Rendon will let Martinez know how he feels in the morning. The toe was...

Nats offense musters only 4 hits again (Rockies win 2-1)

Nats offense musters only 4 hits again (Rockies win 2-1)
On a spectacular Friday night for baseball, one of the best night's of the year to date weather wise in the D.C. area, the starting pitchers dominated early on. Rockies left-handed Kyle Freeland allowed a single by Ryan Zimmerman with two outs in the first. But then he struck out four batters in a row. Nationals right-hander Tanner Roark retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced. The only blemish was a walk to Nolan Arenado in the first. He has two strikeouts. In the third, the Nats got...

Hellickson progressing, will he start Monday in New York?

Hellickson progressing, will he start Monday in New York?
Manager Davey Martinez gave an update on Jeremy Hellickson's progress in extended spring training, saying the veteran right-hander is getting very close to being ready. "He threw a side actually (on Wednesday)," Martinez said. "I guess he threw well. Now we'll just have to wait and see. He's getting to the point now where he feels like he's ready. I know he's got another side coming up so we'll see where we're at." The Nats current fifth starter, right-hander A.J. Cole, made a vast...

Gonzalez rebounded, but slow start doomed chance for win

Gonzalez rebounded, but slow start doomed chance for win
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez could not solve red-hot Rockies leadoff man DJ LeMahieu. And the Nationals defense let Gonzalez down at a key moment as the Rockies took the opener of a four-game series 5-1 at Nats Park. LeMahieu is an early candidate for National League Player of the Month after going 4-for-5 with two doubles, two homers and a career-high four RBIs to lead Colorado to its fifth win on the road. Gonzalez allowed a solo shot to LeMahieu to open the game. He then walked Chris Iannetta....

Stagnant offense, sloppy defense contribute to 5-1 loss

Stagnant offense, sloppy defense contribute to 5-1 loss
The Nationals offense was clicking well in the season's first four games. In three wins at Cincinnati and then the first game at Atlanta, the bats put together 29 runs on 38 hits, racing out to a 4-0 record. Since Monday, April 2, however, the offense has slowed down. The club has won only two of their last nine games. Their two wins in the last 10 days were by scores of 2-0 and 4-1, with major contributions from Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg in those two games. The 1-2 duo combined to...

Mark Reynolds agrees to deal with Nats (updated)

LeMahieu solves Gonzalez; offense searching (Rockies win 5-1)
Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez struggled a bit early on, but his defense didn't exactly do him any favors either. DJ LeMahieu led off with a solo shot to left-center on a 1-1 pitch. With a man on and two outs, former Nats star Ian Desmond popped up behind second base. Howie Kendrick dropped the fly ball for an error, allowing Chris Iannetta to score. In the second inning, LeMahieu continued to solve Gonzalez with an RBI double. Manwhile, Chad Bettis did a nice job through three frames...

Martinez on Eaton, bench-clearing brawls, plus other notes

Martinez on Eaton, bench-clearing brawls, plus other notes
Nationals manager Davey Martinez had some good news on the progress of outfielder Adam Eaton who is on the disabled list with a left ankle bone bruise. Martinez predicted it might be a short stay on the 10-day for Eaton. "I saw him today and he's getting his workouts in," Martinez said. "We miss him on the field, but it's actually pretty good that he's able to continue to do his strengthening for his knees. But he'll be back. I think he's going to be back sooner than we think. He's...

Wieters happy to be back; Glover throwing again
Catcher Matt Wieters (mild left oblique strain) was activated from the disabled list yesterday. Today he is back in the starting lineup. "He's good. He's ready to go," Nationals manager Davey Martinez said. "He's going to play. (Pedro Severino) is here and Sevy is going to get some playing time, too. I'm excited to have Matt back and healthy." With Severino playing so well and Wieters coming off an injury, the question now is, will Martinez split time between the two or will one get...

Cole rebounds with much improved second start

Cole rebounds with much improved second start
A lot of good to build on from right-hander A.J. Cole's second start. Last week in Atlanta in his first start of 2018, Cole got roughed up. He allowed 10 runs on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings. This time, Cole allowed an early home run, settled in, then allowed another solo shot, but that was it. A much better result for Cole, as he went 5 1/3 innings, allowing only two runs on four hits. It was a no decision for Cole, as the Braves dropped the Nationals 5-3, in 12 innings. "He did a great job,"...

Adams demonstrates value with dramatic game-tying home run

Adams demonstrates value with dramatic game-tying home run
It came in a 5-3, 12-inning loss to his former team, but Matt Adams' dramatic game-tying solo homer against the Braves with one out in the bottom of the ninth was a very big deal. "It felt good. It was a big-time moment," Adams said. "I'm the type of guy, I want to do whatever it is, whether it's that, a walk, get on base, keep the line moving. This team has got a lot of great guys on it. Just to keep the line moving is an important part. Like you guys saw today, we keep fighting until...

Cole rebounds from early homer (Braves win 5-3 in 12)
Right-hander A.J. Cole allowed a home run on the fourth pitch of the game. Ozzie Albies hit a solo homer over the right-center field wall to give Atlanta the early lead. Coming off an April 3 start in Atlanta in which he allowed 10 runs on 10 hits, there was cause for concern that a game like that was in the offing. After that, Cole settled down and retired 8 of the next 9 batters he faced. The Nationals were the victim of double plays in the first and second frames. It marked only the third...

Eaton to disabled list, Sierra called up from Triple-A
The Nationals announced before Wednesday's series finale against the Braves that they have placed outfielder Adam Eaton on the 10-day disabled list and purchased the contract of outfielder Moisés Sierra from Triple-A Syracuse. Eaton has a bone bruise in his left ankle. Manager Davey Martinez said the Nats will operate very carefully with Eaton due to his injury history. "I think for the most part we are going to be very, very cautious," Martinez said. "One is, it's the ankle he hurt...

Could Zimmerman's triple be a sign of things to come?

Could Zimmerman's triple be a sign of things to come?
With two men on in the first Tuesday night, Ryan Zimmerman lined a wicked spinning shot to deep center field that Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte was unable to glove. The ball rolled to the wall. Brian Goodwin and Bryce Harper scored to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead. They would eventually win 4-1 thanks to eight strong innings from Stephen Strasburg, the Nats' second straight victory. Standing on third base after the hit, Zimmerman looked up and signaled to the heavens as if to say, 'Thank...

In the first inning, Brian Goodwin walked and Bryce Harper singled in front of Zimmerman against Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz. Pushed to the No. 5 spot in the batting order, Zimmerman tripled on a sharp line drive to Braves left fielder Preston Tucker. Goodwin and Harper scored. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg...
