Frandsen gets the start in left against Diamondbacks' Arroyo
PHOENIX - The Nationals face veteran right-hander Bronson Arroyo tonight here at Chase Field in the second game of this three-game set against the Diamondbacks. Manager Matt Williams is going with Kevin Frandsen in left field today, this after Frandsen slugged a game-winning homer in the top of the ninth last night. Stephen Strasburg makes his ninth start this season, looking to improve upon his 3-2 record and 3.42 ERA. Arroyo is also 3-2 this season, but sports a 4.89 ERA. He started the...

LaRoche back in Nats lineup, Moore in left
PHILADELPHIA - After sitting out Wednesday's game against the Astros with a tight quad, Adam LaRoche is back in the Nationals lineup today in the series opener against the Phillies. LaRoche got two days of rest with yesterday's off-day, and apparently is good to go today. Tyler Moore will play left field tonight, with Kevin Frandsen and Nate McLouth both sitting. The Phillies will send Cliff Lee to the mound tonight, while Stephen Strasburg will get the ball for Matt Williams' squad. For...

Werth to DH, McLouth in right, Frandsen in left
HOUSTON - It seems a bit weird, but the Astros are an American League team now, which means the Nationals get to utilize the designated hitter during this brief two-game set in Houston. Tonight, the Nats' DH will be Jayson Werth. Manager Matt Williams will have Nate McLouth play right field tonight, and Kevin Frandsen will play left, replacing Bryce Harper, who will be out for around two months after having surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb today. Harper tweeted out this...

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
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...

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)
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.

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...
