Game 9 lineups: Nats at Cardinals

Game 9 lineups: Nats at Cardinals
As bad as things went Tuesday night in St. Louis, the Nationals still woke up this morning with a chance to win the series and come home with a 3-6 record in spite of everything that's happened to this team. Maybe it's grasping at straws, but it feels like a win today would go a long way toward boosting everybody's mood. To pull it off, the Nats will need another solid start from Joe Ross, who tossed five scoreless innings against the Dodgers in his season debut. Ross should be good to build...

Game 8 lineups: Nats at Cardinals

Game 8 lineups: Nats at Cardinals
If it worked last night, might as well see if it works again tonight, right? The Nationals liked what they got from their finally full-strength lineup in the opener of their series in St. Louis, so manager Davey Martinez is sticking with the same one through seven hitters in tonight's game at Busch Stadium. The only change among position players: Alex Avila is behind the plate instead of Yan Gomes. It's Avila's Nats debut, and in the process he becomes the team's fourth different starting...

Game 7 lineups: Nats at Cardinals

Game 7 lineups: Nats at Cardinals
For the first time in 2021, the Nationals will field their full starting lineup. Now it's up to that reinforced unit to actually produce and help end a five-game skid. Josh Bell, Kyle Schwarber and Josh Harrison all were activated from the COVID-19-related injury list today and all three are in manager Davey Martinez's lineup for the series opener against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Bell will hit cleanup and provide protection for the already-red-hot Juan Soto, with Schwarber behind him...

Game 6 lineups: Nats at Dodgers

Game 6 lineups: Nats at Dodgers
It's hard to call a ballgame on April 11 a "must-win," but here we are. The Nationals, having dropped four in a row since their walk-off win on opening day, kind of really need to find a way to emerge from Los Angeles with a victory this afternoon. Not that it would doom their season, but another loss to complete a sweep would leave them 1-5 and needing to win two of three in St. Louis just to come home 3-6. That's not a situation Davey Martinez and Co. want to find themselves in. The good...

Game 5 lineups: Nats at Dodgers

Game 5 lineups: Nats at Dodgers
Left-hander Patrick Corbin has been reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and will start tonight's game against the Dodgers, hoping to help the Nationals snap a three-game losing streak during which they've been unable to score for the past 16 innings. Corbin was one of nine players placed on the injured list as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak that spread through the team. He's had mixed results in his career against the Dodgers, posting a 5-9 record through 21 games, including 19...

Game 4 lineups: Nats at Dodgers (four players activated)
Here's some good news to share as the Nationals prepare to open their weekend series at Dodger Stadium against the 2020 World Series champs: They've got four of the nine players who were sidelined for COVID-19 reasons back on the active roster, including both catchers and their closer. Yes, the Nats announced the activation of Yan Gomes, Alex Avila, Brad Hand and Jordy Mercer from the injured list in time for today's game in L.A. It's not as much of a boost as ideally they could've...

Game 3 lineups: Nats vs. Braves

Game 3 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
Who's ready for some more baseball? With the opener of today's doubleheader in the books, the Nationals and Braves will get right back at it with another seven-inning game on South Capitol Street. And because of the events of Game 1, in which Erick Fedde lasted only 1 2/3 innings, the Nats really could use a quality (and long) start from Stephen Strasburg. The veteran right-hander built his arm up as much as needed during spring training, even with that brief calf injury scare in mid-March....

Game 2 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
And we're back. Already. For a doubleheader. Already. Hey, no complaining about anything this season, alright? It's certainly got to be easier for the Nationals to get right back to work after Tuesday's walk-off win over the Braves in the season opener. Now, they realistically just need to think about winning at least one of today's seven-inning games to win the series against the three-time defending division champs. It's a nice position to be in. It'll be Erick Fedde on the mound for...

Game 1 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
The day has arrived. At last. It required four postponements, four positive tests for COVID-19, nine other players and staff members placed into quarantine and three straight days of negative tests for everyone else, but the Nationals are finally going to open their 2021 season this afternoon. They will do so not against the Mets, but the Braves, who already are 0-3 after a rough weekend in Philadelphia. And they will do so not with the lineup anybody anticipated a week ago, but with a batting...

Orioles and Red Sox lineups

Orioles and Red Sox lineups
Rio Ruiz is starting again today at second base, as the Orioles try to clinch the season's opening series with a victory against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The lineup may look familiar. Austin Hays in left field, Ryan Mountcastle as the designated hitter, Trey Mancini at first base, Pedro Severino batting ninth. Ruiz made three outstanding plays yesterday in his first start at second base and only this third appearance. He began working out at the position late in camp after a meeting with...

Orioles and Red Sox opening day lineups and notes
The Orioles' first lineup of 2021 today includes Rio Ruiz making his first career major league start at second base and Austin Hays playing left field. Ruiz started at second base in back-to-back exhibition games to close out the Grapefruit League schedule. Cedric Mullins is leading off and playing center field. Trey Mancini is batting second and playing first base and Anthony Santander is slotted behind him in right field. Left-hander John Means is making his first opening day start. His...

Lineups: Nats vs. Astros in West Palm Beach on MASN
And so we have arrived at the final day of spring training. Six weeks just flew by, right? The Nationals have one last exhibition to play today against the Astros, one final battle for Palm Beach, if you will. At this stage of the process, it's a whole lot of regulars playing, and both teams have prominent starters on the mound: Stephen Strasburg and Jake Odorizzi. Strasburg has looked perfectly fine all spring, showing no ill effects of his carpal tunnel syndrome nor the ruptured calf tendon...

Lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in West Palm Beach on MASN
We've reached the final stretch at last. Two more days, two more exhibition games before the Nationals break camp and head north for good. And after Saturday's events, there suddenly isn't much left for them to decide before opening day. The swath of transactions they made during the off-day essentially set the 26-man roster. Unless they acquire another infielder or reliever before Thursday, the opening night lineup is almost certainly going include both Starlin Castro and Josh Harrison, the...

Lineups: Nats vs. Mets in Port St. Lucie
The bad news: Neither Juan Soto nor Starlin Castro is in the Nationals lineup for tonight's game against the Mets. The good news: Both players appear to be fine, and their statuses for opening night (also against the Mets) do not appear to be in danger. Soto was upbeat today talking to reporters after departing Thursday night's game when his right calf cramped during his one and only at-bat. He wanted to play tonight, but manager Davey Martinez wants him to sit out "just to make sure he's...

Lineups: Nats vs. Marlins in Jupiter
Anybody want to get weird on March 25? Well, let's get weird! The Nationals tonight are starting Luis Avilán., a reliever. He will serve as an "opener," pitching the bottom of the first against the Marlins for sure and possibly taking the mound for the bottom of the second as well. He's also batting eighth, and Davey Martinez says if that spot in the lineup comes up before Avilán is done pitching, he'll indeed bat for himself. Erick Fedde, originally named tonight's starter, will...

Ryan Mountcastle has returned to the Orioles' lineup tonight after being scratched yesterday. Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter against the Pirates in Sarasota. Maikel Franco is the cleanup hitter. Trey Mancini is starting again at first base. Cedric Mullins is leading off and playing center field, with Austin Hays in right. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said wants to see better fastball command from Dean Kremer and Keegan Akin. Kremer started last night. Akin gets his chance...

Lineups: Nats vs. Astros in West Palm Beach
It's been 10 days since Stephen Strasburg strained his left calf while throwing a pitch against the Astros, and though he hasn't pitched again in an official game, by all accounts, the right-hander hasn't been hindered at all. He threw in a simulated game Friday just to make sure he was fine. And now tonight he's back on the mound to face the Astros again and move one step closer to game-ready for the regular season. Strasburg is set to throw 80 pitches tonight, according to manager Davey...

Lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals in West Palm Beach
It's crunch time now, the final week of camp, when big decisions need to be made. And for the Nationals, there may be no bigger decision to make than at third base. All winter and all spring, they have made it clear Carter Kieboom is their guy, so much so that to date they hadn't had Starlin Castro or Luis García take grounders at third, just in case. Well, take a look at today's lineup against the Cardinals and look who's at third: Castro. We'll be hearing from manager Davey Martinez...

Lineups: Nats vs. Mets in West Palm Beach (updated)
As far as Grapefruit League games go, this is about as good as it gets. Max Scherzer versus Jacob deGrom, late in camp, with tons of regulars in the lineup for both teams. In what very well may be a preview of opening night at Nationals Park, arguably the two best pitchers in the National League (winners of four consecutive Cy Young Awards from 2016-19) are each taking the mound today in West Palm Beach, Fla. Each has been stretched out enough so far this spring to be able to go at least five...
