Game 131 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins

Game 131 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
The Nationals got a major boost last night from a pair of key players returning from injury, with Max Scherzer dealing on the mound and Jayson Werth homering at the plate. Tonight, they'll get another boost with the return of Trea Turner from the disabled list. Turner, who has been out exactly 60 days since taking a fastball off his right wrist, is finally good to go. He played in seven rehab games with Single-A Potomac and Triple-A Syracuse, and though he was only 2-for-21 with one walk and...

Game 130 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins (Werth and Scherzer return)
The Nationals welcome back two of their regulars tonight in the series opener against the Marlins. Jayson Werth has been activated from the 60-day disabled list to start tonight, batting seventh and playing right field, after missing 75 games with a left foot contusion. And right-handed ace Max Scherzer will make his first start since Aug. 13. He was on the 10-day DL with a neck strain. Werth was batting .262 with with eight home runs and 18 RBIs before fouling a ball off his foot in Oakland....

Game 129 lineups: Nats vs. Mets

Game 129 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
And we're back for the nightcap of today's doubleheader (the Nationals' third Sunday doubleheader in five weeks, for those joining us late). The Nats need a win over the Mets tonight to avoid a Sunday sweep, to salvage a four-game split of the weekend series and to avoid seeing their lead in the division drop to 11 games before the red-hot Marlins arrive Monday for what has turned into a bigger series than expected. It'll be Tanner Roark on the mound for the Nationals, sporting a 3.14 ERA...

Game 128 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
Who's ready for the third Sunday day-night doubleheader at Nationals Park in five weeks? (Don't all jump at once.) The Nationals have gotten used to this by now, having already played two against the Rockies on July 30, then two against the Giants on Aug. 13. Now they'll play two against the Mets, with the regularly scheduled opener at 1:35 p.m. and then the makeup for an earlier rainout at 8:08 p.m. Erick Fedde is getting called up from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the official 26th man...

Game 127 lineups: Nats vs. Mets

Game 127 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
Manager Dusty Baker opted to give left-hander Gio Gonzalez an extra day of rest following a 121-pitch effort in his last start. Today, Gonzalez faces off against the division rival Mets. The 4-1 win over the Padres last Sunday was another prime example of the 2017 Gonzalez: one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings on five hits with one walk and eight strikeouts. Baker is keen on giving Gonzalez and the other starters a day of rest or more in the season's final month with the Nationals well out ahead...

Game 126 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
The Nationals are back home this weekend after a long, eventful (and still successful) road trip through San Diego and Houston. If things went according to plan, Max Scherzer would have been taking the mound tonight to face the Mets. Things didn't go according to plan, though, and Scherzer has been slower to heal from his second neck injury in a month, now hoping to be ready to go Sunday at the earliest. So in his place tonight will be A.J. Cole, who makes his fifth big league start of the...

Game 125 lineups: Nats at Astros

Game 125 lineups: Nats at Astros
HOUSTON - A pair of evenly matched first-place clubs attempting to get healthy before the end of the regular season clash in the rubber match of a three-game set tonight at Minute Maid Park. The pitching matchup is outstanding with Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg (10-4, 3.24 ERA) facing off against Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel (11-2, 2.58 ERA). Keuchel is very good at home: 35-19 with a 2.89 ERA and 405 strikeouts in 77 games. He is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA in two career starts against...

Game 124 lineups: Nats at Astros (game moved to MASN2)
HOUSTON - The Nationals again got off to a nice start in the opening game of a road series, dropping the American League West-leading Astros 4-3. The Nats are 27-14 (.659) this season in series openers. On the road, they are 15-6 (.714) in series openers, including four straight wins at Miami, Chicago against the Cubs, San Diego and Houston. With a win tonight, the Nats would improve to 13-7-1 in road series. They have won a National League-best 40 games on the road this season. The Nats have...

SAN DIEGO - It's another gorgeous day at Petco Park, where the Nationals will attempt to take the finale of this weekend series and head out of town having won three of four against the Padres in advance of a big series later this week in Houston. Daniel Murphy returns to the lineup after being scratched last night. The Nats will hope that helps inject some life into a batting order that was held to three hits and two walks last night by lefty Travis Wood and two San Diego relievers. Today...

Game 121 lineups: Nats at Padres
SAN DIEGO - When Stephen Strasburg departed his July 23 start in Arizona after two innings with a nerve impingement in his elbow and subsequently was placed on the disabled list, the Nationals said they expected the right-hander to miss only one start before returning to the mound in what was deemed a precautionary move. Tonight, 27 days removed from that start, Strasburg finally takes the mound again. Strasburg himself has suggested throughout the last four weeks that he could've returned...

Game 120 lineups: Nats at Padres (Scherzer scratched)
SAN DIEGO - The last time Max Scherzer faced the Padres, he allowed one run on three hits, struck out 13 and came within one out of a complete-game victory. That was May 26 at Nationals Park, and it was among the ace's most dominant outings of the season. Now Scherzer gets another crack at the majors' least productive lineup, taking the mound at Petco Park tonight in the second game of this weekend series. Anytime Scherzer takes the mound, there's reason to drop whatever you're doing and...

Game 119 lineups: Nats at Padres (Madson to DL, Kelley activated)
SAN DIEGO - Hello from Petco Park, where it's a spectacularly perfect day. Shocking, I know, considering we're in San Diego. The Nationals open a seven-game road trip with the first of four here against the Padres, the undercard I suppose for next week's series in Houston against an excellent Astros club. The Padres are not excellent; they rank last in the majors, scoring 3.88 runs per game, and 23rd in the majors, allowing 5.08 runs per game. The Nats, of course, have boasted the National...

Game 117 lineups: Nats vs. Angels

Game 117 lineups: Nats vs. Angels
After a much-deserved day off, the Nationals are back to work tonight, opening a very quick, two-game interleague series with the Angels. What would have been a marquee matchup between Mike Trout and Bryce Harper unfortunately doesn't carry the same luster anymore, with Harper on the disabled list after injuring his knee Saturday night. So that one head-to-head showdown between the two stars last month in Anaheim will have to suffice. Gio Gonzalez makes the start, seeking a better result than...

Game 116 lineups: Giants at Nats

Game 116 lineups: Giants at Nats
The Nationals seek a series victory tonight in Game 2 of a day-night doubleheader with their ace, Max Scherzer, on the hill. Manager Dusty Baker said Saturday that Scherzer had the right to choose which game he would start on Sunday because he is the ace. When you get to be an ace of a staff, you can make that choice too. Scherzer is 12-5 with a 2.23 ERA. Excluding the Aug. 1 game in which he left after one inning with neck spasms, Scherzer has struck out nine or more batters in 12 of his last...

Game 115 lineups: Nats vs. Giants
It's a beautiful day in Washington, D.C. Given everything that happened yesterday, here and nearby, at least we've got that. The Nationals and Giants are playing two today, with the original game bumped up to 1:05 p.m. and the makeup of Friday night's game scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. Which means these teams will, in theory, be playing three games in 24 hours. The bigger news, of course, involves Bryce Harper. We hope to have some kind of update shortly, so please stay tuned for that. In...

Game 114 lineups: Nats vs. Giants
The last meeting between the Nationals and Giants was rather eventful. If you've forgotten, it involved Hunter Strickland, Bryce Harper and a three-year-old beef. That series took place way back on Memorial Day in San Francisco, and a lot has changed since then. So will there be any reason for any carryover this weekend? I've got to think probably not. What good does it do the Nationals, 15 games up in the division and trying to get everybody healthy for October, to instigate...

Game 112 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
When last we saw Gio Gonzalez on the mound, he was carrying a no-hitter into the bottom of the ninth at Marlins Park before Dee Gordon broke it up on an emotional night in Miami. Since then, Gonzalez has left the Nationals for a few days for the birth of his second son, Gabriel, and now he returns to the mound for his first appearance in nine days. And the opponent ... will be the Marlins again. As we saw last night with Vance Worley and A.J. Cole, the advantage doesn't necessarily change from...

Game 111 lineups: Nats vs. Marlins
The Nationals' rotation is getting back to normal, with Max Scherzer having returned last night and Gio Gonzalez set to return tomorrow night. But there's one more stop-gap start needed from a fill-in tonight, and so A.J. Cole will be taking the mound to face the Marlins for the second time in a week. It didn't go so well for Cole in Miami; he allowed five runs in five innings, four of those coming during a rough bottom of the fifth. We'll see if the right-hander is able to make any...

Game 110 lineups: Marlins at Nats
The Nationals return home for an extended stay at Nats Park, with the next nine games scheduled for home and four straight against the Marlins starting tonight. It has rained all day in the D.C. area, but they are hoping it will dissipate enough to get tonight's game in. Right-hander Max Scherzer (12-5, 2.21 ERA) takes on George Mason product left-hander Chris O'Grady (2-1, 5.40 ERA). The Nats are coming off a stirring series victory in Chicago against the defending champion Cubs, highlighted...

CHICAGO - It is a spectacular summer day on the North Side, with not a cloud in the sky, a nice cool breeze blowing from the northwest and temperatures climbing into the upper 70s by the time the Nationals and Cubs take the field for the second game of their weekend series. The Nats originally had Gio Gonzalez penciled in for this start, but he has officially been placed on the paternity leave list and is back in D.C. for the birth of his second child. Erick Fedde has officially been recalled...
