McLouth subs for shelved Harper in finale against Padres

McLouth subs for shelved Harper in finale against Padres
With Bryce Harper heading to the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left thumb, Nate McLouth gets the call to play left field for the Nationals this afternoon in the finale of a four-game series with the Padres. This is just the kind of situation the Nats were thinking of when they signed McLouth to a two-year, $10.75 million deal in December. It never hurts to have a veteran outfielder with a good glove and a little pop on your roster as a fourth outfielder when an injury occurs, as they...

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups
Nelson Cruz has registered at least one RBI in six consecutive games. The last Oriole to record an RBI in seven straight games was Mark Reynolds from Sept. 15-22, 2012. Can Cruz tie Reynolds tonight? Cruz has 20 RBIs in April for the first time in his career. Miguel Tejada holds the club record for RBIs this month with 31 in 2005. Chris Davis has hit 18 homers and Adam Jones 14 against the Blue Jays since the start of the 2012 season. No other major leaguer has accumulated as many as 10 against...

Padres-Nats lineups for series opener

Padres-Nats lineups for series opener
The Nationals kick off a four-game set with the San Diego Padres tonight, a team that has a really solid pitching staff but also really struggles to score. San Diego has the fourth-best ERA in the majors at 2.82 and owns the majors' best bullpen (San Diego relievers have posted a stellar 1.74 ERA). The Padres have scored just 60 runs in 22 games, however, and come into the series having scored three runs or fewer in seven straight games. Jordan Zimmermann gets the ball for the Nats tonight,...

Harper, McLouth, Leon in Nats lineup

Harper, McLouth, Leon in Nats lineup
MIAMI - As expected, Bryce Harper is in the Nationals lineup tonight against the Marlins, after he left last night's contest in the seventh inning after feeling some tightness in his quad. The quad issue is considered minor and is something Harper has dealt with for the last handful of days, according to manager Matt Williams. Harper will play left field tonight, with Nate McLouth playing center. McLouth was scratched from Sunday's game against the Braves due to left knee soreness, but...

LaRoche sits, Moore in Nats starting lineup vs. Marlins
MIAMI - Adam LaRoche is out of the Nationals starting lineup for the first time this season, as the Nats face off against Marlins left-hander Brad Hand tonight. The right-handed-hitting Tyler Moore will get the start at first base in LaRoche's stead. The red-hot Kevin Frandsen will bat second for the Nats tonight. Frandsen is 7-for-15 with two walks to begin the season. Bryce Harper will again play center field with Denard Span on the seven-day concussion disabled list. Frandsen will play...

Werth, Span out of Nats lineup

Werth, Span out of Nats lineup
ATLANTA - Jayson Werth, who left last night's game with a tightness in his groin, is out of the Nationals lineup today. Also out of the lineup is Denard Span, who will sit today with the Braves starting left-hander Alex Wood. Werth was pulled from last night's game in the 10th inning, and manager Matt Williams said after the game that Werth would be reevaluated today. We'll wait to get an update on his status. Bryce Harper will play center field today for the Nats, with Nate McLouth...

Nats lineup in series opener vs. Braves (plus Atlanta lineup)

Nats lineup in series opener vs. Braves (plus Atlanta lineup)
ATLANTA - The Nationals will face Braves right-hander Julio Teheran for the second time in seven days tonight at Turner Field. Teheran allowed two runs over seven innings in an Atlanta win over the Nats in D.C. last Saturday, and he also added two hits to help his own cause. The Nats will send Tanner Roark to the mound for his second start of the season. Roark picked up the win in his 2014 debut, holding the Mets to two runs in six strong innings. For the Nats CF Denard Span 2B Anthony...

Span, Lobaton out of Nats lineup for finale with Fish

Span, Lobaton out of Nats lineup for finale with Fish
The Nationals lineup for today's 4:05 p.m. finale of a three-game series against the Marlins has a slightly different look to it. Denard Span, who is hitting .241 through the first eight games and in a 2-for-17 slump, is taking a seat. He'll be replaced by Nate McLouth, who will lead off and play center field. Because it's a day game after a night game - and a getaway game before the Nats head to Atlanta for a weekend series - catcher Jose Lobaton isn't starting. Instead, backup Sandy Leon...

Harper batting sixth in reworked Nats lineup

Harper batting sixth in reworked Nats lineup
NEW YORK - The injury to Wilson Ramos has at least partly led to a handful of changes to the Nationals lineup. Anthony Rendon, who hit eighth on opening day, will bat second today. Adam LaRoche, who hit seventh in the opener, will hit cleanup today. Ian Desmond will bat seventh. And most surprising of all, Bryce Harper will bat sixth for the Nationals today against Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon. Harper has battled lower than the No. 5 spot in the order just four times - the first four games...

Here's your Nats opening day lineup
NEW YORK - Hello from Citi Field, everyone. There was snow falling from the sky when I left my hotel early this morning - how's that for opening day weather? - and the tarp is on the field, but the forecast looks OK for later on today. Manager Matt Williams has posted his first regular season lineup as a big league manager, and it's got a couple of interesting twists. Ryan Zimmerman will bat second today against Mets right-hander Dillon Gee, Wilson Ramos will hit cleanup and Bryce Harper...

Nats lineup for Strasburg's final spring start

Nats lineup for Strasburg's final spring start
VIERA, Fla. - Stephen Strasburg will make his final spring training start against the Mets, a game that will be broadcast on MASN HD at 1 p.m. Manager Matt Williams said this morning that he hopes to get the right-hander, who will start the Nats' season opener in Flushing, N.Y., against the Mets, about five innings today. That could increase to six innings if Strasburg's pitch count is low. Here's the Nationals lineup against the Mets: CF Denard Span 2B Anthony Rendon RF Jayson Werth 3B...

Nats lineup has Espinosa at second, Harper hitting fifth
VIERA, Fla. - Doug Fister's long-awaited second Grapefruit League start this spring comes against the same team that he faced all the way back on March 2 - the Miami Marlins. An MRI after Fister's spring debut showed that the right-hander had inflammation in his right elbow, but 20 days later, he's now discomfort-free and back on the mound at Space Coast Stadium today hoping to make it through three innings against a Marlins split-squad. Anthony Rendon is indeed out of today's lineup, as...

We get Gio Gonzalez and Adam Wainwright today in Jupiter

We get Gio Gonzalez and Adam Wainwright today in Jupiter
JUPITER, Fla. - After getting quite a pitching matchup yesterday in Viera between Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer, we'll get another stellar couple of starters taking the mound today here in Jupiter. Gio Gonzalez will get the ball for the Nationals, and Adam Wainwright will make his fourth start of spring for the Cardinals. Gonzalez seemed to make every single one of his spring starts last year here in Jupiter, which became a running joke among reporters and the left-hander. So here he...

Espinosa in Nats lineup vs. Tigers
VIERA, Fla. - For the second straight day, we're getting a Nationals lineup chock full of regulars. The only change in terms of players from last night is that Danny Espinosa is starting at second base and hitting eighth, instead of Anthony Rendon. Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth flip spots today, with Zimmerman fourth in the lineup and Werth third. Other than that, the lineup stays as-is. Another thing we're getting today is a great starting pitching matchup: Stephen Strasburg vs. Max...

Nats fielding a possible opening day lineup tonight live on MASN (with notes)
VIERA, Fla. - Those of you who will be watching tonight's Nationals-Astros game on MASN (airing live at 6 p.m.) will get a treat. Manager Matt Williams is running out a lineup loaded with regulars. In fact, Williams said that his lineup tonight could end up being "close" to the starting lineup that he runs out on opening day less than two weeks from now. Things could and will certainly change based on lefty/righty pitching matchups and even the team that the Nats are playing, Williams...
