Garrett thrilled to return to majors 13 months after gruesome injury

Stone Garrett stood in front of the same locker he occupied in the Nationals Park clubhouse last season, right next to good friend MacKenzie Gore, and smiled wide as he was asked what it felt like to be back here for the first time in 2024. “It’s like getting called up to the big leagues again,” the outfielder said. “Honestly, it feels like the fir

First baseman Ryan Mountcastle was the last position player to be reinstated, with his return announced this afternoon.

We have reached the final week of the season, and that means six more scheduled home games, all against teams still playing for something. The Phillies, who have clinched the division but are fighting with the Dodgers for home field advantage, will be here this weekend.

A simple ground ball single up the middle may never have felt so good to Dylan Crews. The Nationals rookie needed that eighth-inning base hit Sunday in Chicago to snap out of the worst slump of his brief big league career, perhaps the worst slump he’s experienced in a long time at any level of the sport.
