What would Nats lineup look like at this point?

February 08, 2022, 6:07pm

We haven't talked much about the Nationals roster in the last two months, because the roster hasn't changed at all in the last two months. So it might be time for a refresher on the current state of things, because it's easy to forget what this team currently has in place for 2022 and what it still needs to address once everyone's allowed to address needs again. Obviously, there will be an opportunity to add players as soon as the lockout ends, though it could be quite a mad rush by all 30...

Orioles Game 1 lineup vs. Rays

May 12, 2018, 8:10am

Orioles

Chance Sisco is behind the plate today for Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Rays. Jace Peterson continues to play third base. Mark Trumbo is the designated hitter and Anthony Santander is in right field. Santander loses his Rule 5 status today and can be optioned to the minors without passing through waivers and being offered back to the Indians. It provides more roster flexibility for the Orioles. Center fielder Adam Jones is batting .379 (11-for-29) during his seven-game hitting streak....

Orioles

JosÃ© Iglesias is the designated hitter today for the opening game of a doubleheader against the Marlins at Camden Yards, where the Orioles are tabbed as the home team. They're the visitors in the second game because it's 2020 and weirdness is the theme. Iglesias has been kept off the field due to a sore left quad, but he's 10-for-19 with five doubles and four RBIs. Austin Hays is batting sixth after collecting two hits last night to break an 0-for-15 streak. Renato NÃºÃ±ez is the...

UrÃas scratched from lineup, Mancini and Severino return

BOSTON - RamÃ³n UrÃas worked out at third base this morning and has been scratched from the original lineup. Kelvin GutiÃ©rrez is starting at third base. UrÃas has been bothered by soreness in his right leg, which takes him in and out of the lineup. "He went and tried to run this morning and it didn't feel great," said manager Brandon Hyde. Anthony Santander is in left field again, a Fenway Park maneuver, with Austin Hays in right. Trey Mancini returns to the lineup as the...

The Orioles will try to end a four-game losing streak with Trey Mancini staying in the lineup and Pedro Severino removed from it. Mancini came out of last night's game after one plate appearance with right abdominal soreness. Severino struggled to get up the first base line on a double play grounder in the sixth inning due to soreness in his leg/groin area, and Austin Wynns replaced him. Mancini is the first Oriole to walk in eight consecutive games since Brian Roberts in 2009. Ryan...

Having taken the first two games of the weekend against the Marlins, the Nats will look to finish the job this afternoon, with Max Scherzer on the mound looking to rebound from a ragged start against the Blue Jays in Dunedin, Fla. How often has he struggled in back-to-back starts? Hardly ever. Eight times since he signed with the...
