Young guys fit right in with a Nats team looking for repeat

One trend that has been noticeable early this season is how the young guys, most of them making their major league debuts, have fit in from the beginning with the Nationals, and have looked like they belong in the big leagues. Luis GarcÃa, 20, has hit the ground running. Carter Kieboom, 22, had only 11 games of experience coming into 2020, but he also fits in nicely this season.

"Dream Team" includes Zimmerman, Scherzer, Strasburg

A new book out on baseball puts together an all-time "Dream Team" for all 30 franchises in Major League Baseball.

Sandy Leon earned promotion with play, not proximity to big league club

Nationals catcher Sandy Leon was all-smiles as he got dressed Monday in front of his locker, located between fellow Venezuelan receivers Wilson Ramos and Jesus Flores. Leon got the call to the big leagues from Double-A Harrisburg after an unfortunate right knee injury to Ramos, who may miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
