Sánchez pitches simulated game (Nats win 12-10)
Manager Davey Martinez updated the status of right-hander Aníbal Sánchez, who is on the injured list recovering from a left hamstring strain. "He threw a sim game," Martinez said. "Forty-one pitches, went really well. He ran after he threw. Next hurdle will be he will throw a side and then we will reevaluate then. "Before he comes back he's got to do PFPs (pitchers' fielding practice), cover first, do the whole gamut, because it was a hamstring issue so we want to make sure he is...

Rizzo says no decision imminent on Martinez's status

Rizzo says no decision imminent on Martinez's status
Returning from a shocking four-game sweep at the hands of the Mets, Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo spoke prior to the series opener against the Marlins at Nationals Park. Obviously, it has not been a good week for the Nats and Rizzo. The Nats have not won a game since Saturday night, losing a season-high five games in a row. There has been a rush of talk on social media about the status of manager Davey Martinez. The club has lost 31 of its first 50 games of the season. But Rizzo is not...

Game 51 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
The Nationals are mired in a season-high five-game losing streak and arrive back in D.C. to take on the Marlins, who are enjoying a season-high six-game winning streak. The Nats and the Marlins each have the same number of losses at 31. It is a four-game wraparound series culminating in an afternoon Memorial Day matchup. The Nats will send out right-hander Kyle McGowin (0-0, 6.00 ERA) to face right-hander Pablo Lopez (3-5, 5.06 ERA). This is McGowin's first start with the Nats in 2019. His...

Turner makes it through Cubs series, Rendon hitting for power again

Turner makes it through Cubs series, Rendon hitting for power again
The Nationals' Trea Turner played each game of the three-game series against the Chicago Cubs over the weekend. That was no small feat considering the shortstop had not played in a major league game since April 2 following recovery from a broken right index finger. He went 0-for-4 Sunday, but drew a walk, scored a run and reminded those watching of his ability to make defensive plays at his position in coordinating the middle infield for the Nats. "I feel good," Turner said. "Today was...

Hellickson believes mechanics to blame for choppy loss

Hellickson believes mechanics to blame for choppy loss
The night got off to a slow start for the Nationals and Jeremy Hellickson. Then the Nats rallied to make a game of it, but were unable to take that final step, and fell 6-5 to the Chicago Cubs in the series finale. Hellickson walked the first three batters he faced and struggled to get into a groove. The Cubs scored a run against him in each of his three innings, highlighted by Anthony Rizzo's homer and hits from Jason Heyward and Albert Almora Jr., plus a sacrifice fly for Kyle...

Updates on Zimmerman, Rosenthal, Adams, Sipp

Updates on Zimmerman, Rosenthal, Adams, Sipp
First baseman Ryan Zimmerman - on the injured list since April 28 with plantar fasciitis in his right foot - and first base coach Tim Bogar were working on the field during pregame at first base with Gerardo Parra and Juan Soto. They were relaying pointers and defensive strategies for positioning and glove awareness unique to playing first base. Martinez said Zimmerman is "going to get loose today, do everything again. He's thinking about running on the field. But we'll see (where) he's at....

Martinez concerned about Robles getting hit by pitch (Nats fall 6-5)

Martinez concerned about Robles getting hit by pitch (Nats fall 6-5)
The subject of Victor Robles and getting hit by pitches is not a new one. Robles has never been afraid to stand close to the plate. Since his arrival with the Nationals in 2014 for the Dominican Summer League Nats, Robles has always set up close to the plate in the batter's box, not allowing the pitcher to get an advantage with pitches down and away. Robles was forced to miss a few games back in his 2016 minor league season after getting hit by a pitch. Nationals manager Davey Martinez is not...

Game 46 lineups: Nats vs. Cubs
Even with losing the series opener to the Cubs, the Nationals have once again put themselves in position to win a series. Early in the week against the Mets, the Nats lost the lidlifter, then roared back for two wins in a row. On Friday, they lost to Chicago to begin the series, but won 5-2 on Saturday. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg had a calming influence on the Nats pitching staff with one of his best starts of the season: eight innings, allowing four hits, two runs (one earned) with no...

Soto returning to form to help Nats offense get back on track

Soto returning to form to help Nats offense get back on track
If you asked Juan Soto how his second season with the Nationals would begin, he certainly would not have hoped for a copious amount of off-speed pitches to work with and then an injury to his core. But in this league one has to adapt and Soto is finding a way to do just that, a week into his return from back spasms. Saturday night, Soto displayed how far he has come in returning to his rookie season form with four quality at-bats that included a pair of timely hits, a walk and an initial at-bat...

Despite late controversy, Nats pull off 5-2 win over Cubs

Despite late controversy, Nats pull off 5-2 win over Cubs
The Nationals secured a much-needed 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night, thanks to Stephen Strasburg, big hits from the middle of their lineup and the undeterred Sean Doolittle. Strasburg pitched eight innings for the win. Brian Dozier hit his sixth homer. Juan Soto had two hits and three RBIs. Howie Kendrick also added a run-scoring double as Washington improved to 19-26 to even the series at one game apiece. Controversy slowed up the ending. With Doolittle on in the ninth, Cubs...

Dozier homer, big doubles support Strasburg (Nats win 5-2)
The Nationals collected a couple of hits early on against Cubs left-hander Jon Lester. Adam Eaton and Anthony Rendon had back-to-back singles in the first inning. But Lester settled in to get out of the inning unscathed, getting the dangerous Juan Soto to pop up behind the plate. But in the second inning, Brian Dozier led off with a solo shot over the left-center field wall. Dozier connected on Lester's 2-2 offering, for No. 6 on the season. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg struck out the side...

Miller to IL, Rainey recalled; Robles available to pinch-hit
The Nationals have recalled right-hander Tanner Rainey from Triple-A Fresno and placed right-hander Justin Miller on the 10-day injured list with a right rotator cuff strain. Rainey arrived from Fresno approximately 2 1/2 hours before the Nationals are to take on the Chicago Cubs in game two of their three-game weekend set. The 26-year-old has not allowed an earned run in his last seven appearances out of the Grizzlies bullpen. "He's been pitching well. He's going to help us in the...

The Nationals look to bounce back from the series-opening loss to the Cubs on Friday night behind one of their top shutdown starters in Stephen Strasburg. Second baseman Brian Dozier said the Nats cannot let the 14-6 score demoralize them or lessen their drive to play better tonight. It is still just one loss, and the Nats must to turn the page, as the age-old cliché goes. "You have to," Dozier said. "You always do in these type of losses. It got out of hand but at the same time, they...

More from Barraclough on what's wrong with beleaguered bullpen

More from Barraclough on what's wrong with beleaguered bullpen
The Nationals bullpen has failed this season at times, but the way they gave up the game Friday night was pretty spectacular. When it counted most, the 'pen allowed a whopping nine runs on nine hits. Push back to the seventh inning, and the total rises to 11 runs on 12 hits. It was a miserable night after Max Scherzer had fought back from a slow start of his own to keep his team in the game. When he left, the Nats were down only 3-2. They lost 14-6. Justin Miller, Joe Ross, Kyle Barraclough,...

Bullpen can't help Scherzer again, Nats fall 14-6 to Cubs
Right-hander Max Scherzer kept the Nationals in the game against the Cubs Friday night, battling back from a slow start to pitch six innings. But it was what happened after he left that will be remembered most. Down 5-4 in the seventh, the Nationals bullpen surrendered nine runs on nine hits - including four homers in the onslaught - in the final two frames as the Cubs ran away with a 14-6 win. The bottom fell out of the game for the Nats as the Cubs rolled up the nine runs in the final two...

Scherzer struggles early, but Rendon helps out (Nats fall 14-6)
The Cubs took advantage of some uncharacteristic wildness from Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer to begin the opening game of their weekend series in D.C. Scherzer walked Kyle Schwarber on four pitches and Kris Bryant laced a single to left field. The Nats fought back when Scherzer induced a 3-6-1 double play from Anthony Rizzo. But Javier Báez doubled off the glove of Juan Soto, the baseball bouncing off the left field wall. Schwarber scored to give the Cubs the early lead. Cole Hamels...

Turner is back, plus updates on injured players and other notes
For the first time since April 2, Trea Turner is back with the Nationals, playing shortstop and leading off tonight against the Cubs. Turner missed 39 games with a broken right index finger. "It was real nice to write his name in the lineup," said Nationals manager Davey Martinez. "He's been itching to get back, as we all know. He's excited to be back. No expectations. I told him to go out there and play the game and do what you do best. "He's been working diligently for a while now....

The Nationals embark on a challenging three-game series tonight at home at they welcome in the first-place Cubs. Fresh off their first series win since April 18, the Nats face a Cubs squad that has gone 9-1-1 in their last 11 series. Chicago's loss to Cincinnati last night marked its first series loss since April 7 against the Brewers. Since starting the season 2-7, the Cubs have won 23 of 3 games. Washington would love to have a run even close to that after stumbling out of the gates, just...

Martinez has his young players speak to umpires before game
Last week outfielder Victor Robles was caught off second base in a game at Los Angeles. After the game, manager Davey Martinez said Robles assumed he could stroll over to third base when Juan Soto drew a walk because he thought there was a runner at first base. There was also some confusion as to whether or not a time out was called on field. Apparently, Robles thought there was, and so assumed he could go and speak to third base coach Bobby Henley. The Dodgers saw him venture off second base...

Robles shows off multifaceted skills in 5-1 win over Mets
Nationals center fielder Victor Robles slammed his eighth homer of the season in a 5-1 win over the New York Mets on Wednesday night. But his ability to lay down a perfect push bunt in the first inning provided another example of what the budding star can do with his bat. Robles turns 22 on Sunday. He scored two of the Nats' five runs in the win. In the first inning after Adam Eaton walked, Robles dropped his bunt away from Mets pitcher Wilmer Font, moving Eaton to second base. Font could not...
