Matt Belisle "doing really, really well" as he rehabs calf strain
Right-hander Matt Belisle is making solid progress as he recovers from a right calf strain. He has been on the disabled list since April 27. "I'm doing really, really well," Belisle said. "I've been doing a ton of work. It was only about the first 24-hour period where we gave it completely off. We had (platelet-rich plasma therapy) after that, so like 36 hours let that settle in. Since then, it has responded extremely well and I've been hitting rehab really diligently and hard." The...

Baker not changing lineup with Harper free passes routine

Baker not changing lineup with Harper free passes routine
The Cubs walked right fielder Bryce Harper six times Sunday, which allowed first baseman Ryan Zimmerman several opportunities to help bring him home and change the game for the Nationals. But Zimmerman was unable to come through, leaving 14 men on base. With the strategy of walking the National League MVP in front of Zimmerman becoming a viable way to slow the Nats' ability to score runs, will more teams employ this technique? Should manager Dusty Baker put the hot-hitting second baseman...

Game 32 lineups: Tigers at Nationals

Game 32 lineups: Tigers at Nationals
The Nationals return home after a grueling 10-game road trip to play host to the Detroit Tigers. A 5-5 road trip is certainly good for that much time away, but stings a bit after the team arrived in Chicago after a 5-1 trek through St. Louis and Kansas City. The Cubs swept the series thanks to a 4-3 13-inning win over the Nationals Sunday. And for the first time this season, the Nationals are looking up to the Mets in the National League East standings, trailing New York by a half-game. The...

Lopez building consistency as he builds innings in Harrisburg

Lopez building consistency as he builds innings in Harrisburg
So far so good for right-hander Reynaldo Lopez, who had the end of his 2015 campaign derailed due to minor back tightness. Lopez used an outstanding spring training to catapult himself into a steady start at Double-A Harrisburg. "He had a wonderful spring training," said Nationals pitching coordinator Paul Menhart as the season kicked off. "His arm's felt great. He's made every start. This is the year that we get to see what we drafted." Lopez's most recent outing was his best to date....

Nats "get to see what we're really made of" on trek, Zimmerman says
Regardless of the last three games, the next 10 games on the schedule have been pointed to as a huge test in this young season. Whether the Nationals arrived 14-7 or 17-4, games at St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago were marked as difficult because of the caliber of teams and the venues they will have to play in. First baseman Ryan Zimmerman is the longest-tenured Nationals player and he describes this trip as the most daunting of his career. "It's one of the tougher trips I think I've...

Nats struggle for answers after back-to-back 3-0 losses

Nats struggle for answers after back-to-back 3-0 losses
The Phillies handed the Nationals another 3-0 shutout loss on Thursday, sweeping the three-game series. Despite a lineup that was switched around a bit to try to jumpstart the offense, the Nationals combined for only four hits. The Nationals have not scored in 22 innings and have just five runs in the past 34 innings dating to Sunday's 16-inning marathon win over the Twins. It's not like the Nationals had that many chances against Phillies starter Aaron Nola, with only base hits in the first...

Roark blanks Phillies through seven innings (Phillies win 3-0)
On a rainy and then misty Thursday getaway day, after waiting 36 minutes to get started, both starting pitchers have been very smooth in retiring batters as the Nationals and Phillies wrap up their three-game set. Nationals right-hander Tanner Roark, coming off a career-high 15 strikeout performance last Saturday in 2-0 shutout of the Twins, retired 10 straight batters after issuing a leadoff walk to Odubel Herrera to start the game. Herrera was thrown out trying to steal. But in the fourth...
