FREDERICK, Md. - The South Division had jumped to a quick 4-0 lead in the second when Single-A Frederick third baseman Willy Yahn went up and down the North Division dugout, trying to pump up his teammates.
"I was just saying to the guys - semi-joking around and semi-serious - 'Greatest comeback in All-Star Game history coming up,' " Yahn said. "We're just trying to compete, no matter what the score is."
Yahn capped a four-run sixth inning with a two-run double that shaved the South lead...

"I've been 100 percent for a little bit, for a while," Sedlock said this afternoon before the Carolina League All-Star Classic at Nymeo...

If Nationals manager Davey Martinez needs him out of the bullpen in tonight's opener of a four-game series at Petco Park against the Padres, right-hander Tanner Rainey will be ready.
Being willing to pitch is a reliever's calling card, a sure way to curry favor with a manager - no small thing when you're a newcomer to an organization and still trying to carve out a niche in the bullpen.
Granted, having thrown in two straight games may mean Rainey is due a day off. But with righties Wander...
In a perfect world, AnÃbal Sánchez's second strong start off the injured list wouldn't have been rendered an afterthought. In a perfect world, Juan Soto's homer-robbing grab at the left field wall would get significantly more attention. In a perfect world, the Nationals would prefer not to contemplate another bullpen meltdown - or the ramifications for asking too much of too many pitchers on yet another occasion.
But Nationals baseball in 2019 is far from perfect, even if the ending...
The Nationals appear to have dodged the injury bug with both second baseman Brian Dozier and center fielder Victor Robles. However, only Robles is listed in the starting lineup for today's matinee against the White Sox.
Dozier was hit in the left arm by a Reynaldo López pitch in the second inning of last night's 9-5 Nats victory. He stayed in the game for two innings before being replaced at second base by Howie Kendrick and sported a sizeable bruise after the game.
But X-rays were...

Like most of their peers, students at the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy are counting down the days until summer vacation begins.
