Though the depleted group has performed remarkably well in his absence, the Nationals bullpen is about to get one of its key members back. Hunter Harvey, out the last four weeks with an elbow strain, is on track to come off the injured list early this week, according to manager Davey Martinez. Harvey faced live hitters before Friday’s game at Natio
Hello from Nationals Park. Yes, I’m back to work. In person. Many thanks to Bobby Blanco for jumping in to cover in my absence during what proved to be a very eventful week. And many thanks to all of you who offered well wishes while I was recovering from COVID. The Nationals, as you know, are playing their best baseball of the year. Really, their

It was a surreal moment,” Rutherford said of h
