Lineups: Nats vs. Mets in West Palm Beach
Slowly but surely, the Nationals are putting a team on the field that resembles the one we'll see in April. And today's game against the Mets might feature the closest yet. The lineup is full of regulars, with the added twist of Ryan Zimmerman at first base. And with Victor Robles again leading off, that creates a whole lot of depth. To wit: Starlin Castro is batting seventh in this arrangement. That's an awfully good No. 7 hitter. Davey Martinez does have Trea Turner batting second, ahead...

Orioles and Tigers lineups
Shortstop Freddy Galvis has returned to the Orioles lineup tonight after being a late scratch Thursday with a sore hip. Trey Mancini is batting second again, making the start at first base. Chris Davis remains day-to-day with lower-back stiffness. Ryan Mountcastle is the cleanup hitter and Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter. Cedric Mullins takes his turn in center field. Félix Hérnandez makes his Orioles debut and is expected to pitch two innings. For the Orioles Cedric Mullins CF...

Lineups: Nats vs. Marlins in Jupiter

Lineups: Nats vs. Marlins in Jupiter
Left-hander Patrick Corbin makes his first start of the spring today when the Nationals travel to Jupiter, Fla., to face the Marlins in a Grapefruit League game. Like most of the Nationals rotation, Corbin has been slow-played this spring, gradually building up arm strength and endurance in preparation for the regular season. Since it's his first outing, expect him to go no more than 30 pitches or two innings. Relievers Will Harris and Daniel Hudson also are expected to make his Grapefruit...

Lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in West Palm Beach

Lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in West Palm Beach
Max Scherzer is on the mound tonight for the Nationals, so all is right with the world. At least, as right as is possible these days. The ace right-hander, who sprained his left ankle about two weeks before pitchers and catchers reported to West Palm Beach, Fla., has overcome the injury and built his arm back up to be able to pitch tonight against the Cardinals. In the end, he's actually the first member of the Nationals' projected opening day rotation to start a game this spring. Scherzer is...

Lineups: Nats vs. Mets in Port St. Lucie
There are some notable names making the 45-minute trip from West Palm Beach, Fla., to Port St. Lucie today for the Nationals' exhibition game against the Mets. Ryan Zimmerman, Kyle Schwarber and Carter Kieboom are all in the lineup. So is Yan Gomes, making his spring debut behind the plate. And so is Victor Robles, whose left arm appears to be fine one day after he was hit by a pitch. (Stop us if you've heard that one before.) But the most intriguing names in today's game might well be a...

Lineups: Nats vs. Marlins in West Palm Beach
Juan Soto, as promised, is making his spring debut today in West Palm Beach, Fla. And Soto, as speculated for a while around here, is going to be batting second as part of a potentially newfangled top of the Nationals lineup. Manager Davey Martinez is trotting out 1-2-3 of Victor Robles, Soto and Trea Turner, a combination that seemed possible for a while but had not actually been utilized previously. It certainly has potential, if Robles can do his part and get on base at a much higher clip as...

Lineups: Nats vs. Astros in West Palm Beach
The Nationals play their first home game of the spring this afternoon, and there's good news and bad news. The good news: Ryan Zimmerman is in the lineup for the first time in nearly a year. The bad news: Juan Soto, who was supposed to be in the lineup, is not. Soto fouled a ball off his right foot during a live batting practice session Sunday, according to Davey Martinez. The manager said they're just being cautious, and Soto should be good to go in a day or two. But as always with these...

Lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in Jupiter
And away we go ... Yes, there's a ballgame today in Florida. The Nationals are playing the Cardinals in Jupiter, the first of 24 games on the Grapefruit League schedule. And there are a whole lot of starters playing for both clubs. Davey Martinez's lineup includes Victor Robles leading off and Trea Turner batting third (yep, they really are going to test this out this spring). It doesn't include Juan Soto, but it does feature a 4-5-6 of Josh Bell, Kyle Schwarber and Starlin Castro. If you...

Game 60 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
No, the Nationals' season finale doesn't really mean anything in the big picture. They were eliminated from postseason contention earlier in the week. And the Mets were eliminated Saturday, so they don't have anything to play for, either. But there are still a few things of note at stake when the two teams take the field today for the final time in 2020. The Nationals enter at 25-34, the Mets at 26-33. So if the Nats win, they'd end up tied for fourth place in the National League East. (And...

Game 59 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
The Nationals are about to complete their sixth doubleheader of the season. That's a lot of twinbills in a normal year, let alone a 60-game season. And they've done just fine on these long days of baseball. They entered today with one sweep and four splits. And after taking the opener from the Mets 4-3, they have a shot at another sweep and at worst another split. All things considered, that's not bad. Aníbal Sánchez makes his final start of the season, and potentially his final start...

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups (updated)
José Iglesias is starting at shortstop tonight in Buffalo after serving as the designated hitter and homering in the last two games. Ramón Urías has moved to second base, with Hanser Alberto now the designated hitter. Urías hit his first career home run last night and is batting .381 (8-for-21) with two doubles, a homer and three RBIs in nine major league games. Austin Hays is leading off and playing left field. He's a career .296 hitter (50-for-169) in 52 September games, with...

The Nationals and the Mets are scheduled to play two seven-inning games today as part of a doubleheader, thanks to Friday's postponement. Max Scherzer will start the first game. Aníbal Sánchez, already scheduled to pitch Saturday, will start the nightcap. Jacob deGrom to start game 1 for the Mets, who at 26-31 have a 1.2 percent chance of making the postseason. Scherzer enters today's final start of 2020 with a 4-4 record. He has not finished under .500 since going 9-11 with the Arizona...

Game 58 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
This hasn't been the season Max Scherzer or the Nationals envisioned. All they can do now is try to finish strong and head into the winter with something of a positive taste left in their mouths. For Scherzer, the final opportunity to do that comes tonight against the Mets. Though his overall numbers (4-4, 3.67 ERA, 1.386 WHIP) are not up to his usual standards, Scherzer has pitched pretty well over the second half of this season. In his last five starts, he has a 3.00 ERA and 41 strikeouts...

Game 57 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
The Nationals enter the final series of the regular season knowing they have only four games against the Mets remaining on the schedule. With the Giants' 7-2 win over the Rockies late last night, the Nats were officially eliminated from postseason consideration a year after winning the World Series. Tonight, left-hander Patrick Corbin (2-6, 4.76 ERA) makes his final start of 2020 against Mets left-hander David Peterson (5-2, 3.80 ERA). The Mets are almost done themselves, but at 25-31 still...

Phillips on injured list (plus lineups and notes)

Phillips on injured list (plus lineups and notes)
The Orioles placed reliever Evan Phillips on the 10-day injured list this afternoon with right elbow inflammation and recalled Branden Kline, who traveled with the team as part of the taxi squad. Phillips won't pitch again this season, but avoided a more serious injury. He walked off the mound in the sixth inning last night after surrendering a three-run homer to Christian Vázquez, and while facing Jackie Bradley Jr. Kline has made one relief appearance with the Orioles this summer and...

Game 56 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies (updated)
The Nationals opened this bizarre season 0-6 against the Phillies. Who'd have thought they'd have a chance to finish 4-6 against their division rivals? A win tonight would complete a four-game sweep, deal Philadelphia another blow to its postseason chances and keep the Nats' minuscule chances alive for another day. A loss tonight doesn't automatically eliminate the Nationals. One of the Cardinals, Brewers or Giants would also need to win, raising their season win total to 28 (which the Nats...

Game 55 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
Well, the Nationals remain mathematically alive. They've won three in a row, including the first two in this series against the Phillies, and they'll try to pull off a doubleheader sweep here tonight and keep that dim flame from burning out. After Austin Voth tossed the first complete game of his career this afternoon, the Nats bullpen is as fresh as it could be. Which means they may not need to rely on too much out of Paolo Espino, who makes his first major league start since 2017. The...

Game 53 lineups: Nats vs. Phillies
We have reached the final week of a most unusual regular season. Around these parts, that usually means a pennant race, a potential clincher for the Nationals and maybe a few days to rest guys up for the postseason. Not in 2020. Though the Nats are technically still alive, practically speaking they're done. Their elimination number, if you're wondering, is currently three, so the earliest they could be officially knocked out is Tuesday. (Update: It turns out they actually could be eliminated...

Game 51 lineups: Nats at Marlins
OK, it's time for the second of three doubleheaders the Nationals have scheduled in a five-day span. Slowly but surely, they're getting through this rough stretch and approaching the finish line of a difficult season. Davey Martinez decided to have Max Scherzer start this afternoon's opener in Miami, thinking he can hopefully get six or even seven innings out of his ace and save his entire bullpen for the nightcap, in which Ben Braymer will start but several relievers will be needed....
